Customization is key with the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S. The lens features a smooth control ring that can be assigned to adjust aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation. Additionally, the function buttons (L-Fn) provide quick access to commonly used settings for a streamlined shooting experience.

1 Aspherical ED & 3 ED Elements
To ensure minimal aberrations and maximum image clarity, the lens is constructed with one aspherical Extra-low Dispersion (ED) element and three ED elements. These elements work together to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions, delivering high-resolution images with superior contrast and color accuracy.

11.8" Minimum Focusing Distance
With an impressive minimum focusing distance of just 11.8 inches (30cm), the lens allows photographers to get close to their subjects while maintaining sharp details. This feature is particularly useful for creative compositions and capturing intricate details in portraits and product photography.

Meso Amorphous & ARNEO Coatings
Nikon has incorporated Meso Amorphous and ARNEO coatings to significantly reduce ghosting, flare, and reflections. These coatings ensure maximum light transmission, providing superior contrast and color fidelity even when shooting in challenging lighting conditions.
Rounded 11-Blade Diaphragm
A rounded 11-blade diaphragm creates stunningly smooth bokeh, making out-of-focus areas appear soft and natural. This design enhances the overall aesthetic of images, particularly in portrait and close-up photography where background blur plays a crucial role.
