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

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G is a compact, lightweight prime lens made for Nikon's DX-format (APS-C) DSLRs. On those bodies its 35mm focal length gives an angle of view close to a 50mm lens on full frame – a natural, undistorted perspective that suits portraits, street, documentary and everyday shooting. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture lets in plenty of light for indoor and evening work, and allows shallow depth of field for blurred backgrounds. A Silent Wave Motor gives quick, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override, and the seven-blade diaphragm produces smooth out-of-focus highlights.

Compatibility

Fits Nikon F-mount cameras. Designed for DX-format (APS-C) DSLRs, where it gives a standard field of view; on full-frame FX bodies it works but the image is cropped to the DX area. Autofocus works on bodies with a built-in focus motor as well as those without, since the lens has its own SWM motor. Takes 52mm filters.

Questions about this model

Is the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G a good all-round lens?

Yes. On DX bodies it gives a natural standard view, making it a popular everyday prime for portraits, street and low-light shooting.

Does this lens autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs?

Yes. It has a built-in Silent Wave Motor, so it autofocuses on Nikon bodies without a built-in focus motor, such as the D3000 and D5000 series.

Will it work on a full-frame Nikon camera?

It fits FX bodies, but the camera crops the image to the DX area, so you get a smaller file and a narrower field of view.
