Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens
The Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G is widely considered the must-have prime lens for every Nikon DX-format shooter. Providing a 52.5mm equivalent focal length, it delivers a “normal” field of view that closely mirrors the human eye, making it incredibly versatile for everything from street photography and environmental portraits to food and travel. With its bright f/1.8 aperture and compact, lightweight design, this lens is the perfect tool for achieving professional background blur and high-quality results in any lighting condition.

Exceptional Low-Light & Creative Control
Fast f/1.8 Maximum Aperture: This lens is a low-light powerhouse, allowing you to capture sharp, handheld images in dim interiors or at dusk without relying on a flash. The wide aperture also provides beautiful control over depth of field, making it easy to isolate your subject against a creamy, blurred background.

Aspherical Lens Element: To ensure tack-sharp imagery, the optical design includes an aspherical element that virtually eliminates distortion and spherical aberrations. This results in high-resolution clarity even when shooting wide open at f/1.8.

Super Integrated Coating (SIC): Nikon’s specialized multi-layer coating suppresses flare and ghosting, maintaining rich contrast and neutral color fidelity when shooting in bright sunlight or backlit scenarios.

7-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: The aperture is designed to produce a smooth, natural-looking bokeh, adding a professional artistic touch to your selective focus shots.

Fast, Quiet, and Precise Handling
Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Equipped with Nikon’s SWM technology, this lens provides lightning-fast and near-silent autofocus. This makes it an excellent choice for both candid still photography and quiet video recording.

Full-Time Manual Override: You can instantly switch to manual focus by simply rotating the focus ring—even while in AF mode—allowing for precise creative adjustments without flipping a switch.

Rear Focusing System: By moving only the rear lens group during focus, the lens maintains its physical length and achieves faster focusing speeds, ensuring you never miss a fleeting moment.

Lightweight Portability: Its sleek, “pancake-style” profile makes it an ideal “walkaround” lens that won’t weigh your camera down during long days of shooting.
