How many of you own a prime less than 50mm??

Which is the most popular?

I know the 24/1.4 and 35/1.4 is coming, but they are not affordable!

I had a 35mm f/2 before. It's quite cheap (about same price as the 50mm f/1.4D) and i used it a lot with my D200. It has a bit of CA problem at wide open but overall it's quite a good and affordable prime lens.
Thanks. I am looking for a wide prime for travel, I find 50 a little long for landscapes. Since Nikon has so many sub 50mm primes, is the 35 the best out of the lot?
35 f/2 is not bad. but probably not the best as well
at least it's not too expensive Dodgy
Anybody used the Sigma 30/1.4 or any of the wider Sigma's??
Decided on the 35 / 2 Nikkor Smile

Thanks guys
Nikon really needs to release some new wide angle primes!!!
AFS 24 f/1.4
AFS 28 f/1.4

the more choice the merrrier!!
This website maybe useful for you, reviews of some of the wide Nikkor primes.

But in general, the latest Nikon zoom's can almost beat their own primes in terms of optical quality!!! They are really that good!
Nice read! The 35/2 has soft corners...... Sad
