- The naturally wide 35mm focal length is well-suited for the street, the salon, landscapes, and architectural subjects. It also excels as an avenue for environmental portraits and other documentary applications Nikon
- The lens’s fast, f/1.4 maximum aperture unlocks faster shutter speeds in low-light conditions and produces a painterly bokeh, transforming background objects into compositional elements.
- The minimum focusing distance of 10.6″ allows users to get close to their subjects with sharp focus while still benefitting from selective focus techniques.
- The 9-blade diaphragm also contributes to the lens’s bokeh effects while its optical design, featuring two aspherical elements, enables its smaller size and helps minimize distortions.
The lens’s lightweight design is also optimized for video and is balanced along its axes for use with gimbals and cages. Again, the versatile angle of view and close working distance benefit the full range of a shot list, from close-ups to establishing shots. An STM stepping motor suppresses focus breathing and delivers fast and quiet autofocus that won’t interrupt audio gathering. Additionally, you can customize the clickless control ring to quietly adjust the aperture or ISO during recording.
Compact at 3.5″ long and lightweight at less than a pound, the design promotes comfortable and intuitive handling with a knurled control ring and a rubber-coated focusing right. The Nikon body is also resistant to both dust and water.
