I've been shooting with my phone and a compact camera of late and have made a conscious effort to shoot on my Nikon DSLR a bit more. Along those lines, I'm going to make a more concerted effort to use a prime lens and force myself to move around a bit more instead of just zooming.
I shoot on Nikon's DX (APS-C) line of cameras so I'll be looking to use the 35mm f1.8G lens for this "homework" assignment. It's a highly embraced DX lens in the community and is quite economical (sub 200 dollars). It is a G lens and is made of hard plastic. As I mostly shoot casually when out with friends the f/1.8 aperture is perfect for low light photography in evenings and allows me to avoid using as much flash.
The lens itself is quite small, very light, and has a lens hood, soft lens cover, and uses 52mm thread filters. For those newer to the DX line of Nikon cameras, this is the first prime lens to get for most shooters. You'll read online that 50mm is the preferred lens but that is for full-frame (FX) shooters. On Nikon's DX line with the crop factor, the 35mm lens is the DX lens that fits the bill best as it approximates the zoom of a 52mm FX lens on your DX camera. Lastly, 50mm on FX is revered because it most closely approximates the viewing angle of the human eye.
If you shoot Nikon DX DSLR cameras, this lens is one of the quintessential lenses for your kit.
If you shoot on Nikon FX DSLR there is a separate 35mm FX lens. DX lenses are wasted on FX cameras.
