Is Nikon 35mm f1 8 good for astrophotography?
I have this lens myself, and I wouldn’t recommend it for astrophotography; the maximum aperture is too low, with an effective entrance pupil area (EEPA) of just 20.77 sq. mm. The 35mm f1. 8 lens you asked about in the OP, at 18mm, will give you a maximum EEPA of 269.9 sq.
Is Nikon 35mm good?
The Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX is Nikon’s best fixed normal lens for DX cameras. It is especially wonderful for shooting anything hand-held in available light. The 35mm f/1.8 DX doesn’t work well or at all on 35mm or FX cameras, but it does autofocus perfectly with every Nikon, especially the least expensive DX cameras.
What is the AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1 8G?

Does the Nikon 35mm f/2 AF-D autofocus?
The Nikon 35mm f/2 AF-D was introduced 20 years ago in 1989, and is still sold today. It uses the old mechanical AF system. It won’t autofocus on the D40, D40X or D60. When it does autofocus, as it will on the F6, D50, D70, D80, D90 and etc., the focus ring turns and you have to keep your hands off of it.
Does the Nikon 35mm zoom?
Unlike every other Nikon 35mm, 50mm and zoom lens, nothing moves, so there is nothing sucking air in and out from the outside world as it focuses or zooms. (Of course it doesn’t zoom, but every zoom pumps air in and out as you zoom.)
