Product Features in Detail

Fast 35 mm FX-format prime lens (52.5 mm when used with a Nikon DX-format SLR)
Offers a medium wide-angle perspective that’s ideal for street photography, environmental portraiture, and landscapes.

Classic aesthetic
Shoot timeless, compelling images. The 35 mm focal length is a great option when you want to capture the surroundings without sacrificing subject intimacy.

Fast maximum aperture of f/1.8
Enables beautifully smooth bokeh, distinctive subject/background separation, faster shutter speeds, clear shots in low light, and a bright viewfinder image.

Superb optical performance
Point light sources are reproduced with minimal sagittal coma flare. Optical construction employs one ED glass element and one asperical lens element for crisp, brilliant images.

High-resolution images
Designed to accommodate today’s high-resolution sensors, this lens yields amazing clarity and contrast throughout the frame, enabling stunning photos and HD videos.

Compact and lightweight
Significantly lighter and more compact than its professional counterpart, this lens offers the portability you need.

SWM (Silent Wave Motor)
Nikon's AF-S technology is yet another reason professional photographers like NIKKOR telephoto lenses. AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon’s SWM which converts “traveling waves” into rotational energy to focus the optics. This enables high-speed autofocusing that’s extremely accurate and super quiet.

ED glass — an essential element of NIKKOR telephoto lenses
Nikon developed ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to enable the production of lenses that offer superior sharpness and color correction by minimizing chromatic aberration.

Aspherical lens elements
Aspherical lenses virtually eliminate the problem of coma and other types of lens aberration — even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting the distortion in wideangle lenses. In addition, use of aspherical lenses contributes to a lighter and smaller lens design.

Rounded Diaphragm
Soft-focus shots of point light sources create regular polygonal shapes that reflect the shape of the opening created by the diaphragm blades. A rounded diaphragm uses blades designed to create a circular opening for a more beautiful soft-focus effect.

G-type NIKKOR
The G-type NIKKOR has no aperture ring; aperture should be selected from camera body.

Rear Focusing (RF)
With Nikon's Rear Focusing (RF) system, all the lens elements are divided into specific lens groups, with only the rear lens group moving for focusing. This makes autofocusing operation smoother and faster.

M/A mode
AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon's exclusive M/A mode, that allows switching from autofocus to manual operation with virtually no time lag — even during AF servo operation and regardless of AF mode in use.
