| Mar 10, 2016 at 6:49 | comment | added | Alireza | @CarstenS, I want portrait images with shallow DoF and skin sharpness. That's what I want. | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 14:29 | comment | added | Carsten S | @AlirezaHos, why do you want the image the be very sharp and have very shallow depth of field at the same time? | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 13:59 | comment | added | mattdm | @AlirezaHos That doesn't follow. The Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G — designed for DX — also performs better stopped down to f/2.8. | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 13:42 | comment | added | Alireza | @mattdm, thank you for the links. :) Waste of money when using FX lens on DX camera and have to go to 2.8 for the better result and sharpness. | |

| Mar 9, 2016 at 13:28 | comment | added | mattdm | Also, What is the benefit of a wide-aperture lens if you stop it down? | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 13:27 | comment | added | mattdm | @AlirezaHos You seem very disappointed and suggest that the f/1.8G would be a waste of money. That implies to me some degree of, well, magical rather than practical thinking about lenses. For what a fast lens is, see What is a "fast" lens? | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 13:22 | comment | added | Alireza | @mattdm how did you infer from my question that fast lenses are magic!! What do you mean by fast lens anyhow?! | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 13:19 | comment | added | mattdm | @AlirezaHos Fast lenses aren't magic. It is generally the case that lenses are sharper, show fewer artifacts, and (especially in modern lenses with many curved aperture blades) have nicer bokeh stopped down a little bit. | |

Around 2.8? So investing on an f/1.8G lens is waste of money as in 2.8 you don't have the bokeh you expect at 1.8 :|
