Update: the lens was officially released in Japan today:
I got a report from a reader that the new Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX lens is shipping in Finland. The rest of the world should follow in the next few days.

hellz yeah! got my pre-ordered
Good news !
I’m off to my dealer today to see when he’ll get it. I’ve seen sample images and read a few short reviews and it looks like a bargain lens.
Bad news ! Dealer says call back in a week
must be a easy lens to grab because when full frame users saw the DX logo on the lens, their hearts sank.
sweet! fx shooters shouldve never went fx! this is what you get! lol, i kid i kid! cant wait to see the photos from this lens.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ……
exactly
oh come on now – many readers have pre-ordered that lens and nobody provides any info on the shipping date. If Nikon had officially announced it (just like Apple for example – they always officially announce the ship. date), we would not have to monitor and report on that.
Admin – I don’t think they are commenting on the thread, they are doing the spolit brat thing that they have been doing in other threads. These guys just want a new 70-200VR and will keep whining to anyone who’ll listen until they get it. They’ve shown how childish and selfish they are in other threads. They have nothing to say here but post a nothing comment anyway. It’s pathetic so don’t worry about what these guys say.
whining is what gearheads do everyday without making a penny from their crappy work.
amazon hasn’t said anything yet, still waiting for mine!
I doubt it will be the next few days: B&H and J&R don’t even have the lens up on their sites yet. Adorama and Abe’s of Maine have it up with an expected ship date of “late March”, but Mr. Abe is trying to get an extra $30 for it.
I’m always a bit shocked when Nikon seems to get their stock to countries with far smaller sales than the sales potential in the U.S. even in spite of the economy. And considering the recent strength of the US dollar against the Yen, you’d think they’d want more sales in the U.S.
don’t forget the target for 35 mm DX prime… D40/D60… maybe they get in stock early because those models were very well sold in those countryes..
What recent strength?
1.In Romania is in stoc for a week now.. http://www.f64.ro
2. new DSRL from nikon only to the end of april ( i guess entry level ),in stock in june
3. D300 replacement only in the second half of 2009 …august
that’s it – I am moving to Eastern Europe…
anything more on this entry level Nikon?
Here’s another site with some images.
http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/21643/las-vegas-pictures/
Those shots are on a D3x and I don’t see any vignetting. Cropped perhaps?
Doesn’t it automaticly goes into lower resolution mode when it detects an DX lens?
Seriously, in most cases that I’ve seen, this new little gem only shows very minor vignetting on FX. Most times, you can pass it as artistic. Only when close down the aperture do you see harsh darkening in the corners. The other times, I like the vignetting.

no more details, but the source was befor and it is credible. he said:
1. we need an entry level
2. it’s too soon to replace D300…it’s a very good camera
So …welcome to E. Europe

there are some night pictures in Bucharest…..I see a lot of purple frying in the pictures….
I’m getting one, as soon as I can get my hands on one!!
In Japan, some people got this lens at some shops today (May 5, 2009).
A person who bought this lens has uploaded two pictures taken through this lens. Beautiful Bokeh!

In Hong Kong the shops are still waiting for stock.
http://www.chassimages.com/forum/index.php/topic,38610.350.html
in Paris, one is available, at least.
But not many pre-orders for this gadget-lens.
i’m in finland and i don’t see it shipping here..
I’m in sweden and purchased mine OTC today. However, it seems like there’s only a single store here that has had it in stock, and the guy there told me that I got the last one. Appearently, they received their shipment yesterday, and they’ve already sold out. Seems like there’s a solid demand for this one.
If anyone’s interested I could upload a few samples later.
I have mine!!! and im definitely not the only one, the amount of images from this lens on flickr is starting to grow exponentially
How exactly does one make a search on twitter for images taken with a specific lens?
In Germany it also ships. I got a call from my local dealer that the lens has arrived.
Im in finland and i just received a notification that my lens is in delivery, the shop where i pre-ordered the lens is located in sweden, so the delivery takes little bit longer.
Good news. I pre-ordered mine from Amazon. Typically Amazon is the slowest to ship so the wait may be longer.
i hope not!!
I had my 50mm 1.4G pre-ordered on Adorama and never got it, so I cancelled and ordered through JR. . .
I was hoping AMazon would be better. . .oh well, it’s not like I can afford the $199 in these economic conditions anyhow, so I’ll wait until it ships and hope for a better paying job!!
Any news on shipments in Canada/US?
my local dealer said it should be 1 to 2 weeks
Hi, I got it in Czech Republic on monday. However it seems to be unavailable again at the time.
Here are 70+ samples:

Thanks to Nikon, I love the lens.
sharp pics, real clean to at 1600!
Pretty g/f as well. . .can’t WAIT to get my 35mm!!!! ACK!!!
Picked it up today in Denmark for DKK 1.599 ~ € 210.
Mine has been shipped today.
I live in Switzerland.
Price 260 CHF = 225 USD
Expected delivery on Monday !
the lens was officially released in Japan today
I am considering between 30mm f/2 and 30mm f1.8. I am using D300. If the quality of this new lens is same as AF Nikkor 35mm F2D, I will buy it. Dose anyone know that?
It’s now the 23rd…I think I just managed to track down the last D80 in the Baltimore/Washington Metropolitan Area and now I’m going to wet myself waiting for this lens to come out.
