DPReview has posted a gallery of sample photos from the new AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G Nikon introduced recently. There is nothing really spectacular in these photos taken with this lens and a Nikon D300 partially because of the subjects they chose to shoot. The images look pretty good for sharpness and contrast from a lens that is supposed to be a consumer grade prime for DX format DSLR cameras. The lens will be an excellent choice for low light and candid shooting situations.
I pre-ordered mine a few days ago from Amazon for $199.95. However the item appears to be no longer available for pre-order there and no price information is shown on the product page.

Once a very popular lens selling even above MSRP not too long ago, the Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED has lost its charm somewhat. I guess the demands drop as most people who wanted it already got it. It can now be easily found at most photography equipment places for less than MSRP.
It appears that DPReview just started doing lens reviews but I am a little surprised to see the review of this lens coming from DPReview at this time (two years after its release), when many people are waiting for an already-late Nikon D300 review.
Based on the review, the lens is “about making some optical compromises to provide the broadest possible range in a single lens”. It is “nothing more than an expensive snapshot lens”, and it is for “he photographer who wants to shoot a little bit of everything and not have to change lenses”. I guess that’s quite accurate.
For reference, here are some other reviews of this lens:
