Prime lens choice for Nikon 610 please (Page 4): The 35mm for sure. Are you sure of that price? I didn't think it was that expensive a lens. Oops, maybe I'm thinking of the DX version.

The 35mm for sure. Are you sure of that price? I didn't think it was that expensive a lens. Oops, maybe I'm thinking of the DX version. That 50mm 1.4 is kinda heavy.

Why would the average guy waste his money on a 1.4 in lieu of a 1.8? Most could not tell the difference and fewer would be shooting wide open all the time even if there were a big difference. Two thirds of a stop??

Could not agree more. So many folks turn lens acquisition into a spending exercise.

Ya, couldn't agree more. The 1.8 lens is excellent for low light and general use on my D610 and sometimes use it on my D7000. It is my main lens and wouldn't be without it. I also use the Nikon 80-300 and a 24mm f2.8. The 3 lenses seem to cover every situation.

50mm 1.4 is a great lens, I have owned both 1.4 and 1.8. Also Nikon refurbished (from Nikon) is great. I have spent thousands and never had an issue, more than happy every time! Good luck.

I thought the OP was asking about PRIME lenses. . . .

35mm is the classic Street photographers lens. The whole f1.4 or f1.8 is a throwback tp the low iso Kodachrome era, not necessary in this digital ers

Right on.

Sorry , the 35mm f1.8 is an FX not a DX lens.

Nikon has a 35mm FX 1.8 for 529, AND a 35mm DX 1.8 for 199, they make one in each format. I have the DX for my D5100, but the 50mm FX 1.8 for my D750. Both were under $200 new.

Sorry, you're wrong.
