Goodbye, Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 DX lens.




Now that I own a full-frame body, I decided to sell my 35mm Nikkor f/1.8 AF-S DX lens. I have a 50mm f/1.4 AF-S G lens that gives me the field of view that I was getting with my 35mm on my (DX) D90. So this lens is redundant, unless I were to buy a DX body, which I’m not inclined to do — I’d rather buy a Fuji X-E1.

I bought this lens on 4 August 2010 for $196.93. It sold last night via Amazon Marketplace for $174 plus shipping. Ignoring Amazon’s reasonable seller fee for a moment, I used that lens regularly (tens of thousands of photos) for two years and the ultimate rental fee was $$22.93. Not a bad deal.
