It came out a few decades before. So, obviously it was intended for the film cameras. However, I use it with my digital PEN camera. Cheers.

It's for both. With the low f stop will give you a shadow depth to field film look. ..

I think it would be a good choice. I use it on a D-700 (full frame), and it's a nice sharp lens with minimal perspective distortion.

If it were on a fx sensor then yes! but if you have a cropped sensor I woulndt neccesarry recommend this particular lens for that. If you do have a cropped sensor the 35mm f1.8DX is a better option.

Absolutely. I use mine nearly every time I shoot with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. The only thing that you have to get used to is the manual aperture ring. All in all, it's a great little lens. I own the 24mm, the 35mm, and the 85mm, and I recommend all three.

The 18-55 covers a widw ange to short telephoto range equal to a 27mm to an83mm lens on a film camera. with this lens you can shoot fairly wide shots and the zoom in to increase the size of yor subject . the 55mm end is good for portraits and the 18 is good for scenics. The 55-200 zooms out to capture firds in flight or othe distant subjects. Both are inexpensive and outstanding optically.

Better for video but I have taken pics with this lens in middle of video shoots and it does look great! but it is manual lens and no IS so keep that in mind. Samyang/Rokinon do make a non cine lens like this i would go with that.

This is one of the best focal lengths for filming people. 35mm depending on the type of sensor can actually distort how someone actually looks. This is an incredible lens.

Absolutely Digital Single Lens Reflex. I got it for a "better reference photo camera" for my artwork...but, found out it's getting people wanting to buy prints from my photos. It's great. And one of the best for being 8 years old. ;)

While its completely up to you, I will say that this lens is the best for the price in my personal opinion. I feel its a perfect walk about lens and is great for portraiture. I have used it for video but unless you have an external mic, you will be able to hear the motor. I also agree that the auto focus can be slow so I tend to use this one manually. It's not perfect but for someone who lives on a tight budget, it works great for me :)

It's a beautiful lens and should work fine on your camera. Just remember the crop factor turns this into a 28-65mm.

I would say this lens is better for portraits as I use it on a 1.6 crop body. The F2.8 is good at low light too.

Yes of course. I use this lens for photos all the time. The quality is great! Just sometimes hard because of it being full manual.

I would go with a more versatile lens for low light performances. Maybe a 70-200 or something similar.

I agree with Aaron on the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 lens. Beautiful results at the cheapest cost you could possibly ask for. I have the D5100 body as well, and after I got the 35mm lens, it didn't leave my camera for months!

And film lenses do not go with digital bodies. they can click into place but you will get an error sign. Film camera require film lenses
