Nikon NIKKOR AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G 35mm
The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture and 52.5mm equivalent field of view deliver strong subject isolation and low-light performance in a compact 200g body. Its Silent Wave Motor provides fast, near-silent autofocus with full-time manual override, while the aspherical element and Super Integrated Coating maintain sharpness and contrast. This lens is best for DX-format Nikon shooters seeking an affordable, lightweight prime for everyday photography and discreet street shooting.
