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.

Q: Questionwhat is the maximum optical zoom it can give and whether it will fit with D-5000 DSLR(4 answers)
A: AnswerIt 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!Answered by havanajoe8
Q: Questionwill this work on a D3100will this work on a D3100(5 answers)
A: AnswerThe 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.Answered by vick
Q: Questionwill the 35mm f 1.8 lens fit on a D 3000?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes! I use this on my D3000 everyday.Answered by NylahOK
- A: AnswerI have the D7000 with the 50mm f/1.8 and a variety of other lenses. Most of my shooting is outdoors, but when I go inside the 50mm goes on. It is an amazing lens, but there are times in small rooms where I would like to have the wider 35mm. It depends on how you shoot. I looked at my EXIF information on several photos to see which range I use most often before I made my purchase, and I would recommend you do the same. The bokeh on the 50mm is beautiful, but the 35mm can be less than flattering with certain background lighting. Do a little more research on the web before buying either.
Answered by jb
- A: AnswerYes, and you're not clear with your question either: you may have an autofocus lens already, but one which only autofocuses on the more expensive cameras (an AF or AF-D lens), this is an AF-S G series lens which will autofocus on many, but not all autofocus film cameras, and will focus just fine on all digital.

Q: QuestionWill this lens work for pictures of the night sky?(3 answers)
A: AnswerAside from having a lens, like the 35mm f/1.8 with it's wide open aperture, you would need to make sure the DSLR you are using has excellent high ISO capability. So, to answer your direct question, yes, given the lens' ability to open up to an aperture of f/1.8, this lens is an excellent for pictures of the night sky. Taking it one step further, in addition to this lens, it would be ideal that your Nikon DSLR has a Long Exposure Noise Reduction Mode. With pictures of the night sky, you will keep you shutter open for more than a single second, in some instances. Setting the camera to Long Exposure Noise Reduction Mode, reduces the inherent noise that could be present when leaving the shutter open for extended periods to record longer time exposures, such as Night Sky.Answered by NikonStaff
- A: AnswerYes, this lens is compatible with the D5100. This lens is perfect for low-light conditions, travel, environmental portrait and general photography.

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!

Great lens for portraits
The Nikon - AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G is a very versatile and luminous lens. We love using it in our studio for portraits. Works very well in low light conditions.

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!
