All Nikon Nikkor AI lenses are well designed, well made, and practical. Mostly metal parts, put together with care, robust, often (but not always) multicoated, and now good value used. Collect them, make up a range to look at and handle, but above all use them. They fit all the old film cameras and work on many modern digitals too (it will always tell you in the camera manual, look under compatibility and AI/AI-s.) They are generally good quality optics, at least comparable with modern standard lenses. The Series E lenses are the budget range, also AI type, labelled Series E not Nikkor. This particular Nikkor 35mm f2.8 lens is a good example of the range. A little heavy for its size (being metal) but still easy to carry round. Sharp and reasonably contrasty. Been going 30 years; with care, expect another 30.Read full review
Very Sharp old Nikon Lens, much better focus mechanism than the new plastic AF models. 35mm is greatly overlooked by both full frame and crop sensor users, and prime lenses at this price are quite frankly a whole lot more productive from a creative point of view than any zoom.
