That's great!Attached to your D60, the lens just sort of disappears, right? I love it on the D40.
Thanks I love it.
I think it looks awesome. It looks pretty cool on a D60 with a battery grip.
35mm 1.8?

I think, like optima, I just experienced this lens' tendency of producing flares shooting at lights. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? I shot from several different angles while standing and that didn't seem to help as much as sitting down. Does overall light level matter?
I bought this lens for indoor, available-light shooting. Is there anything else as wide and nearly as fast that I should be looking at?
Not complaining really, but trying to understand how best to work with this lens.

the other option is the sigma 30. I hear its not as sharp at the edges. but from the samples i have seen I like the bokeh better. I believe it flares less but I dont know for sure. I am still looking for confirmation comparing the flare of both lenses. I am fairly certain that it controls CA better. if anyone knows of a detailed comparison of these 2 lenses I would be interested to see it. or even better is if anyone here has both !

Actually I would not mind to see a comparison to the old 35mm F2D FX lens, I have been debating on getting that one so it would work on FX

I guess shivas 's talking about longitudinal CA (not lateral) so it's difficult to correct even with DXO.Yes, actually both - but I'm using a D200, so it isn't capable of doing the automatic corrections. . .DxO manages both, but I don't have a module for the 35 1.8G yet (they have one for the D80 and D300 though!)

It's the only lens I have ever put a multicoated UV filter on.
All that said - I too would like to see a 1:1 comparison 'tween them, but the 35 f/1.8 appears to _never_ pop up on my used radar, so I'm unlikely to have one pass through my hands again anytime soon.

Maybe we should wait for the new 35mm FX lens, not you Soap, we are talking about "new"

the "new" 35 1.4 is probably what he's referring to, no?
Photokina is 60 days away - let's see!

Not sure I've thought this all the way through - but IIUC you could not hood a FX 35mm as aggressively as a DX 35mm. I'd actually expect the stray-light resistance to be better on the DX one, all things being equal.
As far as in-frame light-sources, that should be only implementation differences. (and where you would expect a $200 lens to suffer)
