Product Description

From the Manufacturer
The new AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G is an update of one of Nikon’s most respected and popular NIKKOR lenses and combines a natural yet versatile 35mm perspective with an ultra-fast f/1.4 aperture. The f/1.4 maximum aperture allows photographers to shoot handheld in low light and provides dramatic separation between subject and a softened background – particularly useful when shooting environmental portraits, weddings, architecture, travel and photo journalism. This great addition to the NIKKOR line-up is an ideal for shooting high quality still photographs or video capture using Nikon’s D-Movie feature.

Customer Reviews

I'm a wedding photographer who shoots in dark conditions often. This lens performs great in these conditions. I use this lens on a D3 body and the AF is good. It doesn't seem to be as fast at my zooms (24-70 2.8 or 70-200 2.8) but it's still pretty accurate when focusing in low light. The image quality is AMAZING. Certainly an upgrade from the older 35 f/2 version . Images has more contrast ; are sharper. I also own the 24 1.4 G and I would say that the IQ on the 35 is about the same. Over all, I'm very impressed and satisfied with this 35. [...]

I have many of Nikon's finest lenses (+/- 45), and most of the great ones in the macro and normal shooting range. I am primarily a macro and close-up photographer, but I have a bunch of the best wide angle lenses, as well (Nikon 14-24mm, Nikon 24mm PC-E, etc.).
Although I do have an older 35mm Nikon lens (35mm f/2.8 AF K-Series), I guess I never used it all that much or managed to properly appreciate it. Not so with this new 35mm/G lens. Of course all of you who have used a 35mm as a mainstay know this already, but what I am finding out to my delight is that the 35mm focal length is all about context, context, context. It is just wide enough to put whatever subjects I have in mind in context. I love it. On FX camera bodies, it is perfect for people photos. Probably not worth the cash for DX bodies.
And although perhaps not as sharp as some of my APO lenses (Voigtlander 125mm f/2.5 APO Lanthar, Leica 100mm APO Elmarit R, Coastal Optics 60mm APO), this lens is still very, very sharp. In fact, the overall grab of the lens makes me forget about sharpness, which for me is remarkable. I never forget about sharpness.
As a macro photographer I am finding I can get real close (12 inches and some of that is lens) and feature a flower or whatever and still have enough of the surrounding environment to tell a story. I really like the story-telling quality of the 35mm F/1.4G. Sorry to blather on, but I never expected to get such a hit off this lens.
I am going to really use this lens.
