35mm f/1.4G wide-angle prime

This Nikon F-mount lens covers the FX format with a 35mm focal length and a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture. It suits photographers who want a bright, versatile prime for everyday shooting, low-light work and shallow depth of field control. The optical design uses one aspherical element and Nano Crystal Coating to reduce aberrations, flare and ghosting.

Check your camera mount and format

The lens uses the Nikon F mount and is designed for FX-format bodies. It also works on DX-format cameras where it provides a 52.5mm equivalent focal length. Verify that your camera accepts AF-S lenses with a built-in Silent Wave Motor for autofocus operation. No other mount or format compatibility is implied.

For low-light and creative depth-of-field work

Photographers who need a fast wide-angle prime for available-light scenes, environmental portraits or video with smooth bokeh will benefit from the f/1.4 aperture and rounded 9-blade diaphragm. Buyers who want a zoom range, built-in vibration reduction or a slower, lighter lens should look at something else.

Questions about this item

Does the 2198 lens ship with front and rear caps, a hood and a pouch, or must I buy any of those separately?

The 2198 comes with front and rear caps, a bayonet hood and a soft case; no extra accessories are required for basic use.

Should I choose the f/1.4G version or a slower f/1.8 alternative for low-light work?

The f/1.4G maximum aperture gathers twice the light of an f/1.8 lens, making it the stronger choice for dim interiors and shallow depth of field.

How does the 35 mm focal length behave on my FX body compared with a DX body?

On an FX camera the 35 mm gives a true wide-angle view; on a DX camera it acts like a 52.5 mm normal lens.
