Personally, I'd prefer the AF-S DX 35:

Thanks for the review Markus...
Looking at it's performance, I think it's clearly outdated by the newer 35mm for DX bodies. The only thing which is not boring about this lens is the LaCA chart.

Why do lenses that would not be questioned on film, seem great on D200, suddenly get worse on D7000??
Is the answer to go back to the D200??!!

First of all, film and sensors are very different physical constructions and consequently respond differently to lenses (or the way light hits their surfaces).
The higher pixel density of the D7000 leads to a higher measurement frequency, where a lens might behave differently. In addition, many lenses struggle on the D7000 sensor to deliver very high border resolution figures. This may be a consequence of how the D7000 sensor is physically designed (in terms of AA-filter or micro-lens layout).
That alone, however, is hardly a valid reason to go back to the D200 (or the D80, if you want to keep the body size small).

Hmmm
I have a D90
Would I actually notice better images with regard to edge sharpness on the D90 vs D7000??, if so could be a small but valid reason not to upgrade to D7000 if you like your foreground to be pin sharp as in landscapes. As well as fighting off the habitual upgrade/Nikon Aquisition Syndrome for a year or two....
Thanks for the reply and a great website.
