Got my Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 AF-S lens a few days back. I'm thoroughly impressed with it. I did not realize how much difference a f/1.8 makes when compared to a f/3.5. Here's a typical, really blurred out background. In this case, the candle holder lady is just a couple of feet away from the most comfortable recliner in the whole wide world.I have been using this as my primary lens these days. I'm not sure how it would fare when used for landscape and nature photography. Might take it out for a shoot one of these days. It has been a long time since I've been on an outdoor photo shoot.
Family and work priorities have taken up most of my time but that is an excuse in the best sense. I can always make time to do what I really want to do. I still play tennis for a couple of hours every weekend. There is no reason why I cannot find an hour during dawn or dusk (more likely dawn) to go do some shooting.
