Rob Galbraith: Nikon unveils AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G

Nikon today has unveiled its widest aperture DX-series lens to date, the AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G. With a field of view equivalent to about a 52mm lens on a 35mm sensor size camera, the new Nikon optic combines a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, one aspherical element, Silent Wave focusing and a nine blade diaphragm for natural-looking out of focus areas.

It's more for D40,D60 series as a substitude for the 50mm 1.8D.

Just under the price for the f2 version at $199USD

I think there is a typo on the number of blades. According to the brochure: http://www.nikonusa.com/Assets/Came...183_AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-35mm-f-1.8G_Sell_Sheet.pdf

This lens has only 7 blades instead of 9.

For the price range one can not expect a 9 blades aperture
