AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G ED first thoughts (killer lens?)

Is the AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G ED the next 1.8 lens in the line of upgrades that Nikon has done, where the 1.8 version is better or almost as good as the more expensive 1.4 version?




The current line-up of 1.8 lens that counts the 28mm, 50mm and 85mm all got a great reputation where you really have to need a the extra stop from the 1.4 or are working as a professional photographer. We wouldn't know before this lens is put the test, but it looks like it could be another killer 1.8 lens from Nikon and at a great price.

I think we can expect a lens that performs great, but might just be a little bit worse when it comes to bokeh and the color reproduction. Only time will tell.
