Read this thread - about same 35mm lens - now OOS at BB anyway. Summary - the 35mm is a great lens for indoors/low-light etc.

A 35mm is equivalent to a 50mm on a DX format sensor.
the 1.5x crop factor makes it a 52mm, which is the closest thing to the 50mm on an FX format sensor.

The 50mm, since forever has been a lens described as the focal length closest to what the human eye sees, making it an ideal all-around lens.
The F1.8 makes it great for low light setting photography because the lower the aperture, the more light you let in.

At this price, it bests even some of the better deals I see on Kijiji, CL, etc.

Definitely a steal.

I find that the 35/1.8 covers the 35mm image circle quite well, and only vignettes stopped-down and with infinity-focused images. It's also quite sharp edge to edge on FX.

I used to shoot this 35/1.8 on my D700 and photos came out great, if you know its limitations. For $169, it's an excellent deal!
