Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX AF-S Lens

Optical Characteristics

With a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 53mm, this lens offers a Standard wide zoom perspective.

Recommended Applications

* Recommendations are based only on the features necessary to perform the application successfully and do not take into account the relative image quality of different lenses

General use

A basic kit for non-specific photography should cover between 28-300mm

Landscapes

Wide expanses and panoramas can be captured with this focal length. For this application aperture settings will usually vary from f5.6 and smaller and cameras will usually be tripod mounted.

Interiors

Wide angle lenses are a must to capture the look of a room when working in confined spaces. This lens’s fast aperture allows you to capture as much natural light as possible and the camera will usually be tripod mounted to use slower shutter speeds.

Technologies

Nikon Super Integrated Coating

Nikons Super Integrated coating multilayer lens coating helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level.

Nikon Super Integrated Coating achieves a number of objectives, including minimized reflection in the wider wavelength range and superior color balance and reproduction.

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 wide-angle lenses. In addition, use of aspherical lenses contributes to a lighter and smaller lens design.

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.

AF DC-NIKKOR lenses

AF DC-NIKKOR lenses feature exclusive Nikon Defocus-image Control technology. This allows photographers to control the degree of spherical aberration in the foreground or background by rotating the lens’ DC ring. This will create a rounded out-of-focus blur that is ideal for portrait photography.

Distance information

D-type and G-type NIKKOR lenses relay subject-to-camera distance information to AF Nikon camera bodies. This then makes possible advances like 3D Matrix Metering and 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash.

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.

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.
