June 26, 2024
Excellent cost-performance with a fast maximum aperture of f/1.4
TOKYO - Nikon Corporation (Nikon) is pleased to announce the release of the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4, a wide-angle prime lens that is compatible with full-frame/FX-format mirrorless cameras for which the Nikon Z mount has been adopted.
The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 is a wide-angle prime lens with a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, yet available at an affordable price. Not only does it allow users to easily enjoy the soft expressions offered by large bokeh and three-dimensional rendering that make the subject stand out, but its wide-angle 35-mm focal length also enables the capture of a wide variety of scenes and subjects, from landscapes and snapshots to portraits and photos of flowers and pets. The minimum focus distance of 0.27 m allows users to get close to subjects such as food and flowers, and to create works that emphasize the main subject with a large background bokeh. Despite its f/1.4 maximum aperture, the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 has a total length of approximately 86.5 mm* and weighs around 415 g. This design achieves a similar size to the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S, making it easy to use on a daily basis and to take with you for quick snapshots whenever you go out. In addition, the superior optical performance unique to NIKKOR Z lenses allows for clear depiction with minimal chromatic aberrations. Shooting close-up portraits at maximum aperture results in soft rendering around the face and clear rendering of the eyelashes. What's more, stopping down the aperture when photographing landscapes realizes sharp rendering, allowing the photographer to tailor imaging expression to suit their intent. 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, providing strong support for those looking to expand their own range of imaging expression in photography.
Nikon will continue to pursue a new dimension in optical performance while meeting users' needs, contributing to the development of imaging culture, with the hope of expanding possibilities for imaging expression.
