The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G is an essential prime lens designed specifically for Nikon DX-format cameras, giving a natural 52.5mm equivalent field of view close to what the human eye sees. Its wide f/1.8 maximum aperture makes it an ideal choice for everyday low-light shooting, street photography, portraits and travel, all in a lightweight, compact body that suits any Nikon F-mount DX camera.
Optically, the lens includes one aspherical element that reduces distortion and spherical aberration for exceptional sharpness, while Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating limits flare and ghosting for rich contrast and accurate colour even in harsh backlighting. A Silent Wave Motor provides fast, near-silent autofocus suited to both photography and video, and the seven-blade rounded diaphragm produces soft, attractive bokeh that isolates the subject cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G compatible with Nikon full-frame cameras?
The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G is designed specifically for Nikon F-mount cameras with a DX (APS-C) sensor. It can physically be mounted on full-frame FX bodies, but it is optimised for DX sensors and will show corner vignetting on full-frame cameras at most apertures. On DX cameras it provides a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.
Does this lens support autofocus on all Nikon DX cameras?
Yes. The built-in Silent Wave Motor (SWM) means the lens can autofocus on any Nikon F-mount camera, including entry-level DX models that have no internal autofocus motor, such as the Nikon D3500 and D5600. Manual focus is also available at any time without changing modes.
How good is the bokeh from the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G DX?
The lens has a rounded seven-blade diaphragm which, combined with the wide f/1.8 aperture, produces soft and visually attractive out-of-focus backgrounds. That makes it well suited to portrait, lifestyle and street photography, where subject isolation and shallow depth of field are desirable.
