Sample Shots
Ok, finally here're some sample shots taken with the Nikon D200 (converted RAWs via RawShooter Essentials 2006).
Sorry for the rather dull images but the weather was rather bad at the time.

(=several megabytes) thus requiring a significant amount of bandwidth so please take care of the limited resources here.

Verdict
The Nikkor AF 35mm f/2D is a very decent performer and a worthy standard
lens on APS-C DSLRs. The resolution figures are very impressive especially
at medium aperture settings where the performance is as good as it gets on
the D200. At wide-open aperture the borders could be a little better but that's
typical for lenses in this range. The level of vignetting is a little
on the high side at f/2 but negligible beyond. There's a moderate degree of
barrel distortions but nothing to worry about in the field. Combined with
the good build quality and fast AF the lens is surely one of the can't
lose options in the Nikon lineup.
