Description — Nikon 35mm f/2
The Nikon Nikkor AF 35mm f/2 is a full-frame prime lens built on the Nikon F mount, designed for use with Nikon DSLR camera systems. With a fixed 35mm focal length and a f/2 maximum aperture, the lens offers a practical blend of coverage and light-gathering capability. It weighs just 205g, making it one of the more portable full-frame primes available for the F mount.
Focus operation is flexible, supporting both autofocus and manual focus modes to suit different shooting styles and situations. The 52mm filter thread accepts commonly available and affordable filters. Image stabilization is listed as none, so steady handling or an in-body stabilization system will be needed in low-light or slow-shutter situations.
Compatible with the broad ecosystem of Nikon F-mount DSLR bodies, this lens provides full-frame sensor coverage without adding significant weight to a camera bag.
