Is the nikon af s 35mm f 1 8g ed good for video?

Yes, with caveats. The 35mm f/1.8 is a fast prime that can shoot good video, but it isn't ideal for talking-to-camera work. It isn't stabilised, so you'll lean on the camera's own stabilisation if you have it.

The video guide suggests a wide view, around 16-20mm full-frame equivalent at arm's length. On full frame, 35mm frames tighter than that, so you'd need to step back or use a stand. On APS-C it frames like 52mm, tighter still, so it suits tripod or interview shots better than selfie-style filming.

For wider work, the Nikon AF-S 20mm f/1.8G ED sits closest to the vlogging range, and the Nikon AF-S 24mm f/1.8G ED is a bit tighter. Whatever lens you choose, plan for sound too, as the audio notes explain.
