Prime Lens
MELVILLE, N.Y., June 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Nikon announced the
release of the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4, a wide-angle prime lens that is
compatible with Z mount full-frame/FX format mirrorless cameras.
This fast, versatile lens offers a natural angle of view, popular
among street and portrait photographers, with the creative freedom
provided by a bright maximum aperture of f/1.4–all at an affordable
price.
Not only does the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 allow users to enjoy
beautiful soft bokeh and three-dimensional rendering at wide
apertures, its versatile 35mm focal length and short minimum focus
distance of 10.6 in. (0.27 m) make it
ideal for capturing a wide variety of scenes and subjects. From
landscapes and street photography to portraits and photos of
flowers and pets, photographers and filmmakers will enjoy
outstanding sharpness, beautifully-blurred backgrounds and
exceptional versatility in low light.
Despite its large f/1.4 maximum aperture the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4
is a great "carry everywhere" lens for day-to-day shooting,
weighing just 14.6 oz (415 g) and measuring only 3.4 in.
(86.5mm)1 in length.
The superior optical performance unique to NIKKOR Z lenses
allows for clear images with outstanding clarity including close-up
portraits that emphasize the subject with a pleasant background
blur. Stopping down the aperture when photographing landscapes
realizes incredible sharpness. As a wide-angle prime lens with
superior cost performance, the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 supports the
capture of a wide variety of scenes and subjects, and will appeal
to a wide variety of enthusiast creators.
Primary features of the Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4:
- Beautiful bokeh: Max aperture of f/1.4 allows
photographers and filmmakers to achieve smooth, creamy out of focus
backgrounds while precisely controlling depth-of-field for ideal
subject and background separation.
- Versatile focal length: The 35mm focal length is close
to that of human vision, making it ideal for capturing a wide range
of scenes and subjects. On DX format Z cameras, the NIKKOR Z 35mm
f/1.4 becomes a 52mm equivalent prime lens, close to the classic
"standard" 50mm.
- Close minimum focus: Close focus of just 10.6 in
(0.27 m) is ideal for capturing
details in food and flowers with a beautifully blurred
background.
- Compact and well-balanced: The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4
weighs just 14.6 oz (415 g), making it is easy to carry and
comfortable to use for hand-held shooting.
- Fast and quiet autofocus: The use of a stepping motor
(STM) for autofocus ensures fast and quiet autofocus for both
stills and video.
- Clickless control ring: Easily control key exposure
settings including aperture, ISO sensitivity and exposure
compensation.
- Suppressed focus breathing: Advanced optical design
means the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4's focal length stays consistent
during focusing, which is ideal when recording
video.2
- Dust and drip-resistant: Seals throughout the design
help prevent dust and water droplets from entering the
lens.3
