OK, in all seriousness, if the question really is: "Can you use this lens to shoot basketball?", the answer is yes, if you sit on the baseline, find the right exposure settings, and shoot burst at least 3 fps. I use this lens to catch anywhere from layups to jump shots in the corner, when my team is on offense. When they're on defense on the other side of the court, I switch to the 85 1.8, which captures backcourt defense really well, but not enough depth to capture my team defending their rim.

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras, 2183, Black

Q: SO what is the big difference between the 50mm and the 35 mm lenses? I have been looking at oth for my D3000

The difference between the two lenses is the focal length. I personally have both lenses in my arsenal because they are NOT the same or even that similar, as some have said. The nifty fifty, as it's known, is great for portrait close-ups. It produces creamy bokeh that is absolutely gorgeous. The 35mm can also be used as portrait lens but it won't give you anything near the beauty of the composition of a 50mm shot. Also, it's a wider angle (the smaller the number the wider the lens) so basically if you were to stand at the back of a room full of people with a 50 on and look through your viewfinder, then stand in the same spot but change your 50 to the 35, you'll find that you can see more of the room (hence, wider angle) through the 35. I recommend buying both but if you're just getting started and looking to save money, definitely go with the 50mm.

Q: Is this a better lens than the one that comes with the nikon d3100 for close up shots of jewelry of small items for e bay

The answer is yes and no. This lens is a better overall lens than the "kit" lens that typically comes with the D3100. However, this is a prime lens which means it has a fixed focal length - no zoom. Zooming is done with your feet. The "kits lens" is usually a 18mm-55mm lens. Better for zooming, but not as good in low light, and not the same quality lens as this one.

Q: what size UV filter for the NIKON 35mm f/f1.8 AF-S DX lens?

Hi CAPT W. The size UV filter that you need is 52mm. I found that Nikon 35mm camera stranded lens are 52mm. However, wide angle, fisheye, and telephoto lens are different in size. For example, telephoto lens over 250mm use a 58mm filter. I hope that this helpful.
