The AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G follows the AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED (released in March 2010) as a fast, f/1.4 maximum aperture fixed focal length lens for superior image quality. It offers superior rendering characteristics – excellent resolution and natural blur characteristics at the maximum aperture – possible only with the latest fast-fixed-focal-length NIKKOR lenses.

Adoption of a new optical design that uses superior rendering characteristics such as Nano Crystal Coat, and compensation for various types of aberration, makes the lens perfect for landscapes, night landscapes and scenes of night skies in which characteristics such as distortion-free, sharp, and natural-rendering from infinity to close up, are a necessity. In addition, the new and improved manual focus drive mechanism reduces manual focus time lag for overwhelmingly improved manual focus operation in M/A mode.
Main Features

    * A fast, wide-angle 35 mm fixed focal length lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4
    * In addition to the superior resolution and natural blur characteristics possible at the maximum aperture, the benefits of the superior compensation of various forms of aberration, including flare and coma, are best seen in the excellent performance exhibited with capture of night landscapes and night skies.
    * Nano Crystal Coat significantly reduces ghost and flare
    * Equipped with two focus modes, M/A and M, as well as a new and improved manual focus drive mechanism
    * The lens offers two focus modes, M/A (autofocus with manual override) and M (manual). In addition, the new and improved manual focus drive mechanism reduces manual focus time lag for improved manual focus operation in M/A mode.
