Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX Lens To fulfill the needs of digital photographers owning Nikon cameras with DX-sized sensors, Nikon produces the 35mm f/1.8 AF-S DX Lens. This lens produces an angle of view similar to what a 50mm lens would produce on a full-frame/FX camera and thusly functions as a “normal” lens. Prior to the digital explosion, most shooters would begin their exploration into the world of photography with a “normal” lens with a large maximum aperture. A lens of this type is the traditional standby for low-light shooting, careful composition, and street shooting. This 35mm f/1.8 Nikkor lens recreates that experience for DX format shooters who have been seeking a comparable “normal” lens. Note! DX lenses are NOT recommended for use with FX “full-frame” digital or 35mm SLR cameras. Fast “Normal” Lens The 35mm focal length closely matches a 50mm lens in the FX format. This is perceived to be a natural lens as it provides an undistorted angle of view that is similar to what the unaided human eye perceives. Versatile A desirable lens for low-light, travel, environmental portraiture and overall general photography. Contains an Aspherical Lens Element The incorporation of an aspherical element minimizes coma and other lens aberrations, further improving image integrity. Super Integrated Coating (SIC) This lens coating enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency with reduced flare. Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) The motor embedded in the body of the lens enables fast, accurate and quiet autofocusing. 7-blade Diaphragm A rounded iris produces a more natural rendering of out-of-focus image elements. Close Focusing The 35mm f/1.8 AF-S can focus as close as one foot.
