Review of Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G

Affordable fast lens

Advantages: Affordable, Fast, ideal in low light, lens hood included, very good build quality, feels good

Review of Nikon Nikkor lens - 50 mm F/1.8

The "Nifty Fifty"

Advantages: Perfect for photographers on a "budget"
Disadvantages: Does not autofocus on D40, D40x
