Nikon 35mm f1.8 G AF-S DX

£169.00

The Nikon 35mm f1.8 prime lens with autofocus is compatible with the Nikon D40, D40x, D60 and other Nikon DX Digital SLRs. This DX NIKKOR lens has a fast maximum aperture which delivers a bright viewfinder experience and subtle background blurring with a shallow depth of field. Incorporating the NIKKOR Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for quiet accurate focus operation, the Nikon 35mm f1.8 prime is ideal for shooting landscapes or taking discreet snapshots, with a picture angle approximately that of the human eye. When used with a DX-format digital SLR camera, the picture angle is the 35mm equivalent focal length of 50mm. Featuring a rounded seven-blade diaphragm opening, the Nikon 35mm AF-S f1.8 prime lens makes out of focus elements appear more natural. The AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f1.8G has two focus modes; M/A (manual override autofocus) and M (manual focus). In addition the lens features a rubber seal to minimise moisture ingression around the mount.

Technical terms

DX Format
DX is a lens designed exclusively for their APS-C sensored DSLRs, but can be used on their full frame cameras like 35 mm SLRs and full frame digital SLRs like the D3 series and D700 DSLRs. All lenses designated as DX type can be used with DX format digital SLR cameras. Many Nikkor lenses designed for FX or 35mm (135) film formats can also be used with DX format digital SLR cameras. The effect of using a Nikkor lens on a DX format camera will produce a magnification of the focal length of the lens by a factor of 1.5x (eg. a 50mm lens will produce the equivilant of a 75mm focal length).

G
G lenses do not have an aperture ring on the lens and must be controlled using the command dial on the camera.

AF-Silent Wave Motor (AF-S) is what Nikon calls their ultra fast Auto-Focusing lenses which utilise Nikons silent wave motor (~SWM). This system works by converting travelling waves into rotational energy to focus the optics the ultrasonic waves move in a spiral pattern inside the barrel with the motor positioned on top of the waves driving it from below.
