NIKON 35mm F/1.8G AF-S DX
You’ve browsed through a lot of 50mm lenses, but something tells us that you haven’t quite come across something as special as the NIKON 35mm F/1.8G AF-S DX. This lens (with an FX-format equivalent to 52mm) is a true one-of-a-kind, and you’re about to find out why:
Product Highlights
- A DX-format lens with a fixed focal length is a rare thing indeed, but you’re looking at it. The unique picture angle that results from using the Nikon 35mm is stunning, and even mimics the angle of another famous lens: the human eye.
- Accurate color reproduction and sharp imagery are key here, as is the near-silent autofocus that works “in the background” while you focus on each image as it comes.
- Lightweight, versatile, and affordable, this lens offers plenty of professional capability at “enthusiast” prices.
If you’ve ever thought that your photography is “missing something,” and you’ve never been able to quite put your finger on it, you might simply need to switch to a lens that’s as accurate to the imagination as anything we’ve encountered. The 35mm f/1.8 Nikon might be that lens for you.

A lot of people want “one of a kind” lenses. A lot of lenses will claim to be one-of-a-kind, sure, but only a few can say they’re first-of-a-kind. If you think we here at Adorama are exaggerating when we say that the NIKON 35mm F/1.8G AF-S DX is something of a first-of-its-kind, consider this: this fixed-focal-length lens offers fast aperture in a DX-format, giving photographers the range of options with the classic 50mm focal length. Have you ever encountered the creative possibilities offered by the Nikon 35mm lens well, we know we haven’t.
- Almost eye-realistic photographs. Let’s face it: as beautiful as your photography is, there are many occasions in which you look at a sunset and think “if only I can capture what I’m seeing right now.” Well, the Nikon 35mm might not be able to connect via Wi-Fi® to your brain, but it can offer a surprisingly eye-realistic level of photography. How? When mounted on a DX-format camera body, photographers can use this 50mm lens to create a picture angle that’s very similar to what you get out of your own eyes. Sure, no lens will ever offer that “eye-level” photography that might be going on in your own head, but it’s a step in the right direction.
- Convenience is an underrated quality in a lens like the Nikon 35mm. Yes, it’s capable of stunning imagery, but none of that really matters unless your lens is lightweight, compact, and affordable. If it’s none of those, then you’re simply not going to use it as often as you otherwise might. And that’s a shame, because it means many lenses out there don’t get enough use as they deserve. But with this Nikon lens, you’ll have no problem adding it to your portable photography repertoire. It’s easy to carry, easy to use, and lightweight enough to be comfortable on that next hike.
- Sharp, high-resolution images might seem like a foregone conclusion in a lens of the Nikon 35mm’s quality, but we at Adorama have to mention them nonetheless. And the quiet Silent Wave Motor ensures that you’ll have an autofocus operating “in the background” that offers a stunning amount of accuracy and consistency—not to mention raw speed.
- Small details, when overlooked, become a lens nightmare. Luckily, the Nikon 35mm offers a seven-blade aperture, eight well-designed elements in six groups, and one aspherical lens. The combined effort of all of these small details is one big lens that can handle a stunning variety of details, not giving itself over to smudging, lens flaring, or color aberrations. This means consistency of output, which justifies every penny of the investment you make.
- Color reproduction is essential when you want to capture every color in vivid detail: the NIKON 35mm F/1.8G AF-S DX offers accurate color reproduction that looks just as good in the final photograph as it did in your imagination.
Add this lens to your own camera toolbox and you’ll never have to struggle with the creative side of photography again. You’ll be able to recreate images much like the photos you have in your head—only this time, the end-result will be accurate to your imagination. That’s what a high-quality lens can do for you.
