Thom's commentary: The first of the f/1.8 S lenses (along with the 50mm). While the 35mm f/1.8 S set a pretty high bar optically, now that we have a full line of f/1.8 primes its turning out to be probably the weakest of the bunch. But "weak" in that sense simply means least best of the best. The f/1.8 primes are all excellent lenses you should consider. Recommended Thom’s Full Review of the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 S
