35mm f1.8G AFS review at PhotoRadar
"There are lots of ways in which traditional prime lenses are superior to modern zooms. Unfortunately, Nikon’s 35mm f1.8 fails to deliver any of them. It offers few if any optical advantages over a zoom and doesn’t match a traditional lens’s features or feel. Take a look at Nikon’s older 35mm f2 full-frame lens instead or just go on eBay."
35mm fr1.8G DX AFS review by Thom Hogan
"Message to Nikon: make more lenses like this, please. Simple, small, affordable, no terrible flaws."
35mm f1.8G AFS DX review at CameraLabs
"The Nikkor DX 35mm f/1.8G may be a budget lens aimed at owners of Nikon's lower-priced DX-format DSLRs, but don't be fooled by the price and target market as it delivers compellingly good performance for any DX-format body."

45mm f2.8D ED PC-E Micro at ePhotozine
"This lens is a specialist optic constructed without compromise, capable of producing images with outstanding sharpness across the frame. The tilt and shift movements are a joy to use, as the controls feel precise and well laid out. If this kind of lens has tickled your fancy, you will not be disappointed. It may be worth hiring a copy before you buy tough, as it pays to be sure when dropping nearly £1400 on a lens as specialist as this."

Nikon 50mm ƒ/1.4G AF-S: a multi-sample evaluation - SLRGear
"Sample variation is a significant issue for users, reviewers, and manufacturers. As a user, the issue is whether a positive review and glowing comments by other users mean that you'd have a similar good experience with a lens should you purchase a copy. On the flip side, do a few negative reports about a lens' performance mean you should avoid it, or are they merely flukes, with the majority of samples actually performing well?"
50mm f1.4G AFS review at UsedNikon
"Well, I can honestly say that this lens is NOT a major upgrade from the old AF-D version. It does have a bit better contrast and control over CA wide open, but not hugely so and not enough to make anyone dump their old version."

Nikon 50mm f1.2 AIS review Jim Gamblin
"I feel that either the 50mm f1.4 AF-D, 50mm AF-D f/1.8 or the 50mm f/1.4 AF-S G lens are the better choices to go for or at least the more practical choices. Possibly on a portrait assignment I might use the 50mm f/1.2 AIS lens, but I seriously doubt that I would on an wedding.  Most likely because I do not have the confidence to manually focus fast enough. However if one is willing to take into consideration that some lenses require a “learning curve” and want something a little more special, then this is an excellent choice. Also it’s performance and construction alone could be enough of an inducement."

60mm f2.8G AFS Micro review at PhotoRadar
"The 60mm Micro Nikkor is good but not great; affordable but no bargain. Its main appeal for Nikon owners, though, is the Nikon brand and the fact that it’s compatible with both the DX and FX formats. There’s no such thing as future-proofing in the D-SLR market, but these Nikon ‘N’-series lenses come close."
