Key Features
- F-Mount Lens/FX Format
- Aperture Range: f/1.4 to f/16
- Close Range Correction System
- Manual Focus Design
One of the most versatile and desirable focal lengths, the NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4 from Nikon is a general wide-angle prime characterized by its bright design and manual focus operation. The f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and also offers greater control over depth of field for using selective focus. The optical design uses a Close Range Correction system, which maintains consistent image quality and sharpness from the minimum focusing distance to infinity. Additionally, a nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

How long is the focus throw?
Unfortunately, Nikon does not specify the focus throw of the Nikon NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4 Lens in degrees. However, compared to some other lenses, this lens seems to have a short focus throw.

Does this lens ever go on sale?
Does this lens ever go on sale?
I don't think this will go on sale, typically older quality lenses pretty much hold their value without any rebates.

question
Nikon NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4 Lens sweet point?
I think you are referring to this or any lens's sweet spot. This never has been a specification but refers to the center area of the lens that is the most perfect in resolution, contrast, color and chromatic aberration control. If Nikon supplied a MTF chart for this lens, you would see the theoretical performance of this lens wide open. On the other hand you might be thinking of the lens' performance at a particular aperture. Again, this is a general rule that can be applied to any lens; to wit: the best optical performance will be at a stop two down from wide open. Best is also a matter of taste. You may want the super crisp, contrasty, color saturated images that you get stopped down. Or you may prefer a imperceptible softer, less contrasty, less color saturated image.

question
Why is the USA version $300 more expensive?
USA lenses are intended to be sold in the USA, and as such, come with a 5-Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty from Nikon (1-Year Limited Warranty along with a 4-Year USA Extended Warranty). In the event of a repair, you would send the lens back to Nikon. The Imported lenses are intended to be sold overseas, and are imported into the USA at a lower cost. As they are not originally intended for sale in the USA, we offer them with our 1-Year Limited Warranty thru B&H, covering the same damage the manufacturer warranty would cover. Nikon USA will not repair an imported lens, so you would send the lens back to B&H and we would send it off for repair for you.

question
The autofocus on a D90 will work with this lens? Or only manual focus?
While the lens will mount to the D90 and allow you to meter your exposure, it is limited to manual focus. This is the case with many Nikon DSLR bodies that can accept manual focus F mount lenses.

question
Does the aperture of this lens close down automatically upon shutter release?
Yes. While you must select the aperture setting on the lens body using the aperture ring built into the lens (as this is a fully manual lens and the Command dial on the camera will not change the aperture setting), once the aperture is set on the lens, pressing the shutter button on the camera will stop the lens' aperture down according to your chosen selection before taking the image.
