Yes. Great Lens
Long time Nikon user. Had always wanted the 35mm lens. Bought it in anticipation of several wedding events. Used it, very sharp, like it very much. Expensive, but if you can justify the cost, go for it... You only have one life to take photos - keep telling myself that daily.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G Lens - Brand New review
The AF-S Nikkor 50mm F1.4G was, at its introduction, hailed by Nikon as 'redefining the standard lens concept'. It turns out that in many ways that was no idle boast - in almost all respects the lens is clearly improved over its predecessor, the AF-Nikkor 50mm F1.4D .
Pros:
- Extremely even image quality across the frame, even on FX, Improved image quality over 50mm F1.4D at large apertures, Exceptional image quality when stopped down, Essentially no lateral chromatic aberration, Near-silent AF-S focus with full-time manual override
Cons:
- Slightly soft at large apertures, Somewhat susceptible to flare, Longitudinal (bokeh) chromatic aberration, most visible at large apertures, Vignetting at large apertures on full frame (essentially disappears by F2.8), Slower autofocus than the screw-drive AF-Nikkor 50mm F1.4D

Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.4G Lens Review
Hopped on a plane to Brisbane and used this lens all Christmas with my D7000. That's what I found best about the lens, portability, suitable to most shots, and great professional quality.

If you were only aware of first-party lenses from Canon and Nikon, you'd be forgiven for thinking that 35mm f/1.4 lenses are almost impossible to manufacture. Why else would they cost in excess of $1,600, when 35mm f/1.8 and f/2 lenses go for a third or less of the price?

this lens changed the quality of the images we were putting out there. the depth of field you can accomplish with such a wide focal length is amazing. shoot this in 2.8 or lower, get close to your subject, and you're going to love it.
Pros:
- sharp
- depth of field
- awesome quality
Cons:
- can be slow focusing..

The best 35mm lens out to date
This lens has the latest bells and whistles from Nikon's engineering department. I used it in very low light and found it to autofocus very accurately. The wider aspect versus the 50mm focal length allows for a more general use.
Pros:
- Accurate AF
- Flare resistant
- Solid build
Cons:
- Too expensive

My new favorite lens
Tact sharp and has excellent micro contrast. Definitely has better focus compared to 50mm f1.4G and 85mm f1.4G. Ive noticed CA in the highlights and minimal barrel distortion but not a big deal since it be corrected easy post.
Pros:
- Durable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Nice Bokeh
