AF-S NIKKOR 35mm F/1.4G: Updating the Classic Wide-Angle Lens The new AF-S
NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G is an update of one of Nikon?€™s most respected and
popular NIKKOR lenses. The lens combines a natural yet versatile 35mm
perspective with an ultra-fast f/1.4 aperture, and completes the lineup of
f/1.4G lenses announced in the past year, including the AF-S NIKKOR 24mm
f/1.4G, the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G and the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G. The
f/1.4 maximum aperture allows photographers to shoot handheld in low light
and provides dramatic separation between subject and a softened background.
This classic wide-angle lens provides photographers with an intimate tool
perfect for weddings, architecture, travel and photojournalism whether
shooting high quality still photographs or video capture using
Nikon?€™s D-Movie feature. In a wide variety of photographic
situations, both FX and DX-format shooters will enjoy the benefits of
extra-bright f/1.4 viewing and superb image quality. When mounted on a
Nikon DX-format or an FX-format digital SLR within the DX Crop Mode, the
AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G has an angle of view that is equivalent to a focal
length of 52.5mm in FX/35mm format. The build of the AF-S NIKKOR 35mm
f/1.4G features 10 optical elements in seven groups with one aspherical
lens element that eliminates coma and other types of aberration even when
shooting at the widest available aperture. A Rear Focus (RF) system
provides smooth and fast autofocus while eliminating front barrel rotation,
and two focus modes are available ?€“ M/A (manual-priority autofocus)
and M (manual focus). A refined manual focus driving mechanism is adopted
to reduce focus time lag and improve operational ease in M/A mode.
