Choosing 35mm lens for camera?

I currently own a Nikon D90 (not full frame, fantastic camera), I've notice my need to have a lens with a larger aperture for low light situations. So I plan on buying a 35mm lens (Which would be a 50mm on my non full frame camera). The problem is that I also want to be able to use this lens on my Nikon F100 (so it has to be a full frame lens to avoid vignette).It has to have an aperture between 1.2 and 2.4 any suggestions?

Added (1). It doesn't need to be a nikkor lens, as long as its a quality lens

Added (2). I want it to be a 35mm lens thanks to the fact that it will be a 50 on my dslr and work as a 35mm on my slr, not a 50, because it will be too long for my dslr

If you want a wide angle lens that will be wide on both your F100 and D90, the Nikkor AF 24 mm f/2.8 may be the better choice over the 35 mm if you want wide.

I use a Nikkor AF 20 mm f/2.8 on both my F4 and D300.

You really need to try both lenses on your cameras before you spend a dime. Trying to pick a lens based upon theoretical research does not work well unless you have a few years experience using lenses similat to what you have been using.

For now, just tape you 18-55 mm lens at 20 mm, 24 mm and 35 mm and walk around looking through those focal lengths for a few hours each with the lens on the D90

You want a sharp lens that will work on both cameras and has f/1.8? Try the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8.
