Works well enough for the pricepoint

Good for an inexpensive, compact lens
I bought this lens specifically to live on my old D3100 for use as a "baby cam" because I wanted a small, quiet package to take pictures of my young daughter. The image quality is good on a 14MP sensor, and the autofocus keeps up with my older camera. It's not as good a performer as Nikon's 35mm f/1.8 DX lens, but it does cost half as much and is smaller.

Good AF Pancake Lens
I wanted the most compact possible AF lens for a small, "around the house" DSLR. I've never understood why Nikon doesn't make one, so I went with this Yongnuo model. It's exactly what I expected and needed: a compact, inexpensive prime. The autofocus can hunt a little bit in dim light, but this is a perfectly fine tradeoff for the size and price.
