Nikon 35mm 1.8G DX VS Nikon 50mm 1.8G DX/FX? (Which One Is BETTER?) 

📸 Get the Nikon Camera Guide bit.ly/33eW17x

Nikon d5300 Nikon 35 mm f 1.8 Sigma 17-55 F2.8 And I am happy.

I own both (plus the 85mm 1.8). For general photography, the 35mm is a better option (due to its wider focal length). However, when it comes to taking portraits, they’re not even close. Both the 50mm and 85mm are FAR superior to the 35mm.

I own both... Call me call me crazy but the 50 gives way better pictures. Just my opinion. Yes, focal length can be an issue depending on photos, but I always keep the 50 on unless Im too close. So contrary to his opinion, 50 is my main, 35 is MY backup

35mm 1.8G DX was my starter lens when I first got my D7100. I used it for both photos and video. Super smooth bokeh and great depth of field on APS-C. Also renders with great contrast, color and sharpness for such a great price.

I would say the biggest difference is that the 50mm is both full and crop compatible but I would still recommend the prior. Watch THIS to understand why so: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3Sl8KVTPnxs.html

im using aps-c sensor, mean its crop, thus I use 50mm for portrait and use 35mm for video. both are good, and you must know where you wanna use it..

Watch me use this lens with a real world test HERE: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tWNz08Tev6E.html

Look at the scene in front of you. Then raise your camera and look at the scene through the viewfinder. If the scene looks the same size through the viewfinder as what you see without, then we can say that your lens/sensor combination produces an equivalent 50mm focal length. That is why 50mm lens are called 'normal' focal length lenses. It is the perfect focal length if you had to choose just one prime focus lens because it mimics what we see through our own eyes. Now, to achieve 50mm focal length with an APS-C camera, we need to use a 35mm lens. The 1.5 crop factor multiplies the 35mm by 1.5 times. (ok, to 52.5mm but close enough). If you are shooting with a full frame DSLR or a 35MM film camera, then a 50mm prime lens is what you need to achieve that 'normal' 50mm focal length focal length. Of course, you may prefer the small telephoto effect of shooting with a 50mm lens on an APS-C camera and that's fine too, but you can learn a lot and develop your skills hugely as a photographer by shooting 50mm focal length ..such as the reviewed 35mm f/1.8 lend here fitted to an APS-C camera. I hope that makes sense.

50mm on aps-c censor is more to 75mm focal lenght,so if u have a dx (crop) body go with 35mm if u have fx (full frame) body go with 50mm.

I think a 50mm lens will be good for product photography .

It seems like you made this video for me

"super tight" when you are very close to the camera. You can just put your tripod further away. Prime lens have sharper image and great in low light because of low F stop number. Also 35mm lens its going to look like 50mm lens on crop sensor which is your D5200 or other camera.

Nikon d3500 18-55 f3.5-5.6 And im happy

Un lente DX en una cámara apsc no tiene factor de recorte. Un lente FX (como el nikkor af 70-300 o el 50mm 1.8) SI tiene el factor de recorte x1.5 ya que está diseñado para full frame.

Nikon’s 35mm f1.8G DX Lens, quite affordable and one of the company’s finest.

Hi Peter, I have been watching your content for the last two days and I am glad Infound your channel because you are the only one I have seen so far reviewing Nikon cameras. I currently have a Nikon D5000 and I wanted to know what is the best wide-angle lens to get for this camera. Thanks

Late to the party but I have a question. I have a Nikon D5600, I specialize in close-up portraits and videos...which of these two lenses would you say serve both purposes the best?

Any opinions on which I should get for close up car photography?

I have tried both ...I bought the 35mm but he’s right the 50mm focal length is important for photos

For osprey and birds yes kit lens works great . On my d 5600 Nikon now I’m looking for a lens for stars and night time . And astrophotography . What 50 mm under three hundred is best. ? On my budget

You really helped me out with this vid. Thanks.

great review! thank you!

1 min 33 sec past and I know what I need. Thank you very much :)

The. 50mm is simply much better image quality

I suggest more sample images to be added. Like, side by side images you took with one or the other, to see the level of zoom in different situations.

Thank you very much for video, that exactly what I need :)

you helped me alot! thankyou so much for this video :)

A very nice short in depth video thay you. This leads to a question - I have a D5300 with Nikon 18-55mm II kit lens. Would the Nikon 35mm 1.8G DX be a better choice for mid to close-up LEGO stop motion?

Heyy thanks! That was really helpful!

I have a Nikon D5100 and I like to shoot everything from landscape to macro. I am very new to photography and when I got my Nikon it came with an 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G and a 55-300mm 1:4.5-5.6G. I saw the macro photography and I loved the artistic side to that and I have brought a 50mm 1:1.8D. I do not have a 35mm 1.8G lens and I am wondering what sort of macro photos I would get with 35mm 1.8G? I have a reverse ring as well and am wondering what sort of macro I would be able to get using it on a 35mm? I also use macro lens attachments. Should I get a 35mm?

The 50mm you used is AF-S, for FX. Its is multiplied to 1.5 crop factor so around 75-80mm. There's no 50mm for Nikon DX. maybe other brand but not Nikkor.

I love 50mm ✨❤️

I have both and an 85mm F1.8

I am confused....the DX 35mm should be 52mm in FX. But the 50mm is FX...or is it not?

The difference not only the focal length, but the Bokeh also. 50mm have creamier bokeh than the 35mm and thats why its good for portraits. You can step back a little or set up your Tripod back a little bitif you feel the image js "to tight'

This helped a lot. Thank you

Hey pete, just seen your review today and Im planning to buy a lens this christmas. Which lens do you think ticks the most checks - for landscape and street photography and for general use? Hope my question is clear. Ty btw!

how about its ability in low light or indoor capture?

thank you! this is exact l what I was looking after

what i wanna know is if the dx versions still crop the image like the non dx ones on a crop sensor camera. because i have a crop sensor camera and i don't like the cropping the non dx 50mm does.

have you ever used a lens, where infinity focus starts already from 1 meter ?

My response to this, copied from above, Which one is better the Nikon 35mm vs 50mm 1.8G DX Lens? and this, also copied from above, Which one is better the Nikon 35mm vs 50mm 1.8G DX Lens? Nikon has never made a DX 50mm prime lens, every Nikkor DX lens is marked DX on the lens.

i dont understand... is the 50mm DX the same focal length as a 35mm (bot DX)? I dont understand where to apply the 1.5 multiplier :(

which one is better for use reverse ring AND extension tube ?

I use the 35mm for videos on my other RU-vid channel, I want a wider one based on my preference

Am not noticing the focus length I can't see difference

What’s the best option for taking photos at events eg. group photos of 2-4 people?

Hello Sir i have nikon d5600.. Which lens i better? 35mm or 50mm lens??

This helped 🤩

Remember guys 50mm of full frame is about 32mm on cropped so if you want that classic look, I’d go for the 35.

My camera is d90 which is crop sensor so which lens should I get instead? I want to use it for landscape and portraits. Basically something versatile

I have 35mm 1.8G And 50mm 1.8D and a 18-140mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR lens all nikon. I am Going into freelancing in Wedding Photoshoot , Portrait shoot and For my Personal Use....I have Nikon D7200 My question Is Should I Sell My 50mm 1.8D as It becomes 75mm with 1.5x crop Fractor and 35mm becomes 52mm. Should i sell 50mm or should i keep it. Will it be worth keeping. Please guide me. I do not shoot Video i am only into Photo.

Which would you recommend for newborn photography?

I have a kit lens 18-55mm 1.8 f should i get a 50 mm prime

Nice review Peter, I have new Nikon D5600 , Im choosing between Nikon 35 mm and sigma 17-50 mm, Which is better for general use . Video and photography. Thanks

What is the difference of 1.8 to 1.4??

Hi there....I am planning to get a Nikon D500 which is a DX camera... I am confused about getting a lens..that will suit all kinds of photography landscape, portrait etc with a good creamy bokeh. I had initially planned on getting a 50mm 1.8g lens but then later found out that it isn't the same for a crop sensor so I later resorted to 35mm 1.8. But again fount out that there is both 35mm DX And FX lens. So could you help me with this ? Which will be the best for my requirement ? Thanks

Thanks!

I want lens for short films which one should i get? I have nikon d5300

why not both?

Would the 35mm DX lens be 35mm on an fx camera?

I am having nikon D5200 camera. I am interest in making a shortfilm. Shall i use 35mm 1.8 g or sigma 17-50 2.8 . Wil sigma suport my camera. Suggestion pls

Good Job Man

Thanks for that.

So. The 50 mm in dx mount is 70 mm ?

I hate all this videos when i search for information.. because not everyone has the full frame camera man! PLEASE SHOW THE CROP SENSOR VIEW TOO......

Great Video! I use a Nikon D5300 and have a Tokina 11-16 DXii F2.8(for Landscape) and would want to replace my Kit lens Nikon 18-55 VR2. I have ordered a Tamron 70-200 F2.8 G2 recently (for almost everything but mostly for outdoors). Would want to cover the gap between the 16-69mm. Having a hard time choosing between the Nikon 35mm 1.8G or the Sigma 17-50 F2.8 OS for a standard Lens in my kit. Is it a must to have a prime lens? I don't do much video work but mostly photography as a hobby. Can't purchase both since I broke my bank purchasing the 70-200 :( Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you very much for your time :)

DOF differs at same distance/aperture.

Can i make a music video with the 35mm

35mm on your 5600, need times 1.5 which is give you 52.5mm.

How about the yonguo 35mm anybody have proved?

Bad choice if you ever plan to upgrade.

thanks you saved my 100 $ !!! not buying 35 mm or 50 i am happy with my 18 140 kit lense
