Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX review
The fastest DX-Format NIKKOR lens to date * With a compact, lightweight
design, the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G provides the high reproduction
capability and picture quality for which NIKKOR lenses are renowned, at an
affordable price. The ring type SWM offers quiet AF operation. Although all
lens groups shift during focusing, the front element and filter mount do
not rotate and the barrel length does not change, which is useful when
using filter mounted SB-R200 Wireless Remote Speedlight units. The AF-S DX
NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G optical design allows a different look and feel to
images taken with zoom lenses, and its dimensions are ideal for discrete
snapshots and landscape shooting with a picture angle that approximates
that of the human eye. With its rounded seven-blade diaphragm opening,
out-of-focus elements appear more natural. When mounted on a DX-format SLR,
the picture angle is the 35mm equivalent focal length of 50mm. The AF-S
NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G has two focus modes, M/A (manual override autofocus) and
M (manual focus). The M/A mode enables instant manual switching during AF
operation. The lens also features a rubber seal to minimise moisture
ingression around the mount and can focus down to 0.3 meters ? ? ? ? ?
