NIKON NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S Wide Angle Fast Prime Lens for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras
From the manufacturer
A Wider World of Possibilities.

35mm prime. A desert-island lens for many. Wide enough to nail the view. Shallow enough to draw out subjects. Fast enough to make the impossible possible. And so sharp...just utter unwavering sharpness. In reimagining this classic lens for the new Z system, we may very well have perfected it.
-
The Undistorted Truth
An improved optical formula for virtually zero flare, ghosting, coma or chromatic, spherical and axial aberration, even at the far edges of the frame.
-
Perception Redefined
Empowered by the Z system's larger mount, shorter flange distance, raw imaging power and video capabilities, the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S will redefine your perceptions of what an f/1.8 lens can do.
-
Wide-Open Sharpness
Epic definition and resolution from the center of the frame to the edges, even at its f/1.8 maximum aperture. No need to stop this lens down.
-
Fast, Accurate Focus
The larger Z Mount delivers more light to a Z camera's powerful PDAF system for extremely high focusing accuracy and speed.
-
Next-Generation Z Design
Dual Detect 5 Axis VR
Uses VR enabled Z cameras' superior in-camera image stabilization system for up to 5 stops of VR.

Shines in Low Light
Draws peak performance from a Z camera's outstanding low light capabilities. Captures point-of-light sources like streetlights with uncanny sharpness and minimal spherical aberration.
-
Jack of all Situations
Few lenses are as versatile as a fast 35mm prime. Ideal for landscapes, street photography, weddings, environmental portraits, filmmaking and more. Brilliant in low-light. Lightweight and portable.
-
Dreamy Backgrounds
A 9-blade rounded diaphragm and f/1.8 aperture combine with the larger mount and shorter flange distance to produce a stunning round bokeh.

Beautiful Establishing Shots
Human eye-perspective puts viewers at the heart of the shot, whether it's an interview, tutorial video or product demo. Near-silent autofocus is powered by a new stepping motor.
