Nikon unveils AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G

Nikon is pleased to announce the new AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens, featuring a large maximum aperture of f/1.8 that is perfect for handheld, low-light shooting in a wide variety of challenging conditions. The AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G, developed for Nikon DX-format cameras, is the first single-focal-length lens that offers a normal picture angle (approximates that of a 50mm lens with FX and 35mm formats and is similar to normal human vision). This amazing new lens is compact, lightweight and affordable, while providing enhanced shooting flexibility as the latest addition to the Nikon DX NIKKOR lens lineup. AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens
