Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Standard Lens: Whether you're a beginner or professional, you'll love this compact, lightweight lens from Nikon. The normal angle of view captures approximately what the human eye sees, making it a great all-around lens. Plus, the f/1.8 maximum aperture is ideal for creating softly blurred backgrounds and shooting in low light.

  • Compatible with a variety of Nikon DSLR cameras: Works with any Nikon DX-format DSLR camera with an F-bayonet mount.
  • 35mm focal length: Excellent for shooting landscapes, architecture, group shots, travel shots and more.
  • f/1.8 maximum aperture: Performs exceptionally in low-light settings and allows remarkable depth-of-field control, so you can softly blur backgrounds and draw attention to your subjects.
  • Aspherical lens elements for clear images: Corrects spherical aberrations, out-of-focus or distorted images that occur when light rays don't converge to a single point. A curved lens surface precisely focuses light rays for sharp image quality.
  • Advanced lens coating for improved optics: Super integrated coating increases color consistency and reduces flare.
  • Rear focusing system with silent wave motor: Powered by ultrasound vibrations of the motor, only the rear lens group moves during focusing, resulting in smooth, silent and precise autofocusing.
  • M/A focusing mode: Allows you to switch from manual to automatic with virtually no lag time, by simply turning the focusing ring on the lens.
  • Accessories included: Comes with front and rear lens caps, hood and case.

Q: What comes included with this Nikon lens?

A: This lens comes with front and rear lens caps, a hood, and a case.

Q: What is the filter diameter of this Nikon lens?

A: The filter diameter of this lens is 52 millimeters.

Q: What is the minimum focusing distance of this Nikon lens?

A: The minimum focusing distance of this lens is 0.98'.

Q: What kind of focusing system does this Nikon lens use?

A: This Nikon lens uses a rear focusing system with a silent wave motor.

Q: What is the maximum aperture of this Nikon lens?

A: The Nikon lens has a maximum aperture of f/1.8.

Q: what is the maximum optical zoom it can give and whether it will fit with D-5000 DSLR

A: It has no zoom, it's a prime lens, meaning it's only at 35mm. On a Nikon DX camera it's right around 52mm, which means what you see with your eye will look the same distance as what you see through the lens. You will need to move closer to / further away from your subject to change the view. It will work fine with a D-5000. It's a great lens!

Q: will this work on a D3100

A: The question you really want to ask is, will this lens autofocus on a D3100. Yes, it is a AF-S lens with a built-in motor. It will autofocus on cameras without motors, such as the D3100.

Q: will the 35mm f 1.8 lens fit on a D 3000?

A: Yes! I use this on my D3000 everyday.

    Great lens, great price!

    This is a really good lens. Fast focus, sharp photos, good in low light. The low aperture setting is good for a blurred background. Got this on sale for $170, Its about the cheapest lens you can get from Nikon.

    Worth the $200

    This lens is super smooth. The f/1.8 makes a really nice and creamy Bokeh. The lens is really fast, and will really take your photography skills to the next level. I originally bought this lens by itself, and returned it once I found out that they're selling it in a kit with the 85mm macro. It's weird because the first one I had made a lot of noise anytime I focused in on my subject while taking a picture, but the new one I received in my kit hasn't made any noise at all. My recommendation is to buy this in the kit. This is a great all purpose lens, but I love using it for portraits, since it creates a beautiful blurry background. It's well worth the money, and its definitely a lens that every photographer (both new and old) should have in their bag!

    A must have lens for any Nikon DSLR owner

    I went back and forth between the Nikon 50 mm and 35 mm prime lens and originally bought the 50mm DX from Best Buy, but after using it for a week or so, I decided to take it back and buy the 35 mm instead. The 35mm allowed for a slightly wider angle which was very helpful for shooting indoors. In terms of photo quality, I couldn't tell the difference between the 35mm and 50mm DX lenses so I kept the 35mm to get wider angles. In love with this lens and it's made all the difference in my photos. The 1.8 aperture allowed me to get that blurred background that you see on professional photographs. Don't hesitate to buy this lens, it's a winner!
