Manufacturer description

The 35mm f/1.4 Nikkor is one of the most versatile lenses in the Nikkor lineup, offering both high speed and excellent image quality in a lens of moderate wideangle coverage. The 62° picture angle of this lens is an excellent choice for shooting situations requiring slightly more coverage than that possible with a normal lens, yet without the "exaggerated" perspective of lenses of shorter focal length. Often, in fact, this lens is used in place of a normal 50mm or 55mm lens, particularly if slightly greater depth of field is desirable for improved picture composition, or if indoor photography under available-light conditions is to be undertaken. To ensure the highest image quality in the vicinity of the 0.3m (1 ft) near focus point, this lens is fitted with the Nikon close-range correction system employing "floating" rear elements. Maximum image quality is further ensured by the use of NIC on air-to-glass lens surfaces to control ghost and flare. This lens may be used for close-up photography using one of the Nikon bellows attachments, with mounting in either normal or reversed position. Also suited for flash photography.

Notes

  • This non-AI lens was designed for Nikon F, F2, Nikkormat FS, FT, FT2, FTN, EL, ELW 35mm film SLR cameras.
  • Non-AI lenses cannot be used on Nikon digital SLR cameras (except for the Df) or late (AI) film SLR cameras. However, non-AI lenses can be fitted to Nikon FM, FE, EL2, F3, F4 and Nikkormat FT3 cameras which used the AI metering system but allowed the metering coupling lever to be disengaged. The F5 could have this mechanism fitted as an optional extra. Non-AI lenses can be also fitted to the Nikon F2A and F2AS cameras because the AI mechanism was fitted to the removable metering prism.
