If you think that, we will no longer be getting classical DSLRs and all future cameras will be mirrorless, maybe it was time to invest a tiny bit for a lens that I could also use in newer cameras. I love the flexibility to have lenses that are a bit different between full frame and APS-C and this one is a cute example. At the time of writing I did not yet have a full frame mirrorless camera, so my experience is only with the Nikon Z FC.
First of all, at a tiny 170 grams, this lens is actually heavier and bulkier than the great Nikon Z 16-50 kit lens. Of course by not much. What you get is a decent prime lens, that is as fast as you would ever need (f/2.0), but still feels a bit plasticky. The other gripe that I have seen others complain is the minimum aperture is just f/16. I think for this weight and price, both are to be expected.
| Price | Cheap |
|---|---|
| Weight | 170g |
| Good for | essential Prime lens |
| New or used | At this point and price, a new one would probably be smarter, mine was new at 245 |
This is a full frame lens. There is always a discussion between 35mm and 50mm, so this one gives you something in between.

Very useful for dark places.
Just as you expect, this lens can take great pictures. But in such light, its advantages are not that clear.
The minimum aperture of f/16 can be a tiny bit annoying.. But you do not always get to take a long exposure shot of a waterfall in bright sunlight.
Once again in the dark, the maximum aperture is an asset.
This time the aperture shows itself to highlight the cheese on the right
