Nikon AF Nikkor 35 mm F2D

The Nikkor AF 35mm f/2D is a very decent performer and a worthy standard lens on APS-C DSLRs. The resolution figures are very impressive especially at medium aperture settings where the performance is as good as it gets on the D200. At wide-open aperture the borders could be a little better but that's typical for lenses in this range. The level of vignetting is a little on the high side at f/2 but negligible beyond. There's a moderate degree of barrel distortions but nothing to worry about in the field. Combined with the good build quality and fast AF the lens is surely one of the can't lose options in the Nikon lineup.
