Nikon Inc 2183 35mm f/1.8 AF-S DX camera lens 52mm Black

Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX prime lens

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G is a lightweight fixed-length lens designed for Nikon DX-format digital SLRs. It provides a 44-degree angle of view that approximates a classic 50mm normal perspective on APS-C sensors. The fast f/1.8 maximum aperture suits low-light conditions, travel, environmental portrait and general photography. Its Silent Wave Motor enables quiet autofocus with quick switching to manual focus via M/A mode.

Aperture range and close focus capability

The lens offers a maximum aperture of f/1.8 and stops down to f/22 for depth-of-field control. Minimum focus distance is 11.81 inches (30 cm) with a magnification of 0.16x, suitable for general close-up work but not dedicated macro photography. An aspherical element and Nikon Super Integrated Coating reduce coma, flare and aberrations for improved image integrity across the frame.

Build characteristics and compatibility

The lens uses a rear-focusing design with 8 elements in 6 groups and accepts 52mm filters via the front thread. It mounts on Nikon F-mount bodies and covers the DX image circle; on FX cameras it operates in DX crop mode only. There is no built-in image stabilization, so handheld stability relies on shutter speed or in-body systems where available. The compact black barrel keeps weight low for daily carry.
