The 35mm DX is here!
The AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 will be released this month. I don’t know how long it’s going to take before it’ll land on the Philippine Islands but I’m sure it will be before the year’s out.
I’m not particularly interested in this focal length but the reason why I’m so excited is that I’m 100% sure that my husband will love it. He’s so old school and believes that he’ll trip out on this glass. When I told him about this he said that I can have all the lenses he’s using now and this baby will never leave his camera.
Something about him getting excited over anything is such a wonderful thing to see. Shows that he has emotions other than being composed and calm. I’m sure he’d like to think of himself as “Mr. Cool” but I’d like to think more like he’s “ICE”. Okay, I’ll stop it there because he’ll accuse me of bashing him again.
So I’m excited because he’s excited over this little 35mm. According to Ken Rockwell, this nifty little thing will cost about $200 which means it’ll cost somewhere about $400 here. He’s got a review up already and he hasn’t even had the chance to get one yet. I mean, I’m not saying the guy’s not a great photographer, I just feel like he’s been paid to advertise Nikon and Nikkor products. I’m not one to complain but I like reading reviews from impartial and unbiased bloggers.
So anyway, again, it’s here. I think I’ll ask Teach to get me one instead of waiting for it to land on our shores. Dubai gets new releases at the same time as the U.S. and Europe. Nikkor said that they’ll be releasing it this month. But if it’s going to cost $400… I think I can wait.
