Natural 35mm perspective
The AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G is a wide-angle prime lens designed for Nikon F-mount cameras. It covers FX, DX, FX in DX crop mode and 35mm film formats. The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture suits photographers who need shallow depth of field and low-light capability for environmental portraits, weddings, architecture and photojournalism.
Wide f/1.4 aperture headroom
At f/1.4 the lens gathers ample light for handheld night scenes, interiors and astrophotography while delivering dramatic subject separation. Stopping down to f/16 extends depth of field for landscape work. On DX bodies the 35mm focal length provides a 52.5mm equivalent angle of view, shifting the lens from wide-angle to normal perspective.
F-mount build with Nano Crystal Coat
The lens mounts directly on Nikon F-bayonet bodies and uses a Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override. A 67mm filter thread accepts standard accessories. Nano Crystal Coat reduces ghosting and flare across wavelengths. Rear-focus design keeps the barrel length constant during focusing, aiding balance on gimbals or tripods.

Questions about this item
Will the 35mm focal length on my DX-format body give the same field of view as on FX?
On a DX-format D-SLR the angle of view is equivalent to a focal length of 52.5 mm in FX/35mm format, so the field of view is narrower than on an FX body.
How can I verify the Silent Wave Motor is focusing correctly after mounting the lens?
Listen for near-silent operation and watch for quick, accurate focus lock in both single-servo and continuous-servo modes; the focus distance scale should move smoothly without hunting.
Does the box include a 67 mm filter or hood, or must I buy them separately?
The lens ships with front and rear caps; a 67 mm screw-on filter and the dedicated bayonet hood are sold separately.
