Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G - Nikon F Mount

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G is a professional-grade wide-angle prime for F-mount DSLRs. Featuring a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture and Nano Crystal Coat, it is designed for low-light photography, environmental portraiture, and reportage. The optical construction includes one aspherical element to suppress aberration and distortion, while the Silent Wave Motor provides quiet and accurate autofocus. When purchasing a used example, check the rubber focus ring for any signs of loosening or whitening. Test the autofocus performance to ensure the SWM motor operates smoothly without high-pitched squeaking. The rear mount should be inspected for wear, and the front element checked for scratches, as the large convex glass is susceptible to damage if used without a filter or hood. SDS verifies the internal glass for fungal growth and ensures the aperture blades are snappy.
