The Nikon 35mm f1.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Lens is a wide-angle 35mm prime lens with a maximum aperture of f1.8 compatible with both FX and DX format digital SLR cameras. The lens uses a fast Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for quiet and precise autofocus operation, while the wide f1.8 aperture delivers outstanding low-light performance and a bright viewfinder experience with plenty of clarity and contrast. Ideal for handheld street photography, travel, portraiture and landscape, the portable Nikon 35mm f1.8 produces beautifully sharp images with a soft, natural blurred background.
