Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Standard Lens: Whether you're a beginner or professional, you'll love this compact, lightweight lens from Nikon. The normal angle of view captures approximately what the human eye sees, making it a great all-around lens. Plus, the f/1.8 maximum aperture is ideal for creating softly blurred backgrounds and shooting in low light.

Not for everyone, but could be just what you need

This was my first prime lens purchase and it has completely replaced my kit zoom.
Pictures come out very sharp--almost too sharp when taking portraits. All skin flaws show up perfectly which is not always a good thing.
Since you can not zoom, you really have to work hard to frame. This may not be a bad thing--my shots have improved greatly due to having to really think before shooting.
The low light capabilities of the lens were not quite what I expected. Better than my kit lens but I thought I would get more light.
I do have an issue with hot spots on cheeks and noses when shooting wide open, but this goes away at 2.8.
There is quite a bit of purple fringe when shooting wide open in bright light.
All in all, it is a great lens.

What's great about it: Pretty much everything.
What's not so great: CA and hot spots at 1.8
I would recommend this to a friend!

Operate your compatible Nikon camera at a distance with this Nikon ML-L3 4730 wireless remote, which features immediate-release and 2-second-release modes and a 16' range for flexible shot composition.

Took it out of the box and started using it within seconds. Wife wanted me to get one for family portraits and I wanted it for long exposures.
My only problem is that I waited so long to finally order it.
What's great about it: Does what it's supposed to do.
What's not so great: Nothing so far
I would recommend this to a friend!
