<p>Neither the sigma, nikon nor tamron zoom will disappoint.</p>

<p>Agree with that, but its also more xpensive than the nikkor 35 1.8, its "slower" (2.8) although its already very sharp at full aperture, and its made in Japan ( the OP finds this an importand fact ...) .<br>

So some Pro's andd some con's .. ( like always.. :-) )</p>

<p>I think that the Nikkor 35mm 1.8 is so cheap, that you cannot go wrong at that price...<br>

But the tokina 'draws' such a nice picture and focusses realy close ( 14cm from the "Film Plane") giving 1:1 magnification , i could not resist that eaither so I got them both, and have no regrets ...</p>

<p>I have the 35 Nikon and haven't seen any weak points yet. If you already have other Nikon lenses there is one thing I haven't heard anybody about. It produces the same type of photos. I also have the 16-85 from Nikon and when set to 35 the 35 prime images look the same but sharper. When you use a Tamron or Sigma or Tokina, your images may look different (other color nuances).</p>
