Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S

The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S lens opens up new creative possibilities for photography and video thanks to its extremely high f/1.2 aperture. Available at the end of February 2025.

The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S gives photographers and filmmakers ultimate control over light. Whether it's fashion, reportage, fine art, action, documentary photography: light speaks and this lens listens.

The perfectly balanced optical design combines high-quality imaging and precise focusing to capture scenes with masterful detail. Even the finest colour shades and details are captured with maximum brilliance and contrast across the entire image field - even when shooting in harsh backlight. The reproduction of both sharp and out-of-focus areas of the image is characterised by such subtlety in the transitions between foreground and background that subjects are isolated with an almost three-dimensional effect.

Photographers and cinematographers who want to take advantage of the extremely shallow depth of field can work confidently at f/1.2 thanks to Nikon's fast and accurate combined focusing system. Even the tiniest bit of the scene can be sharp against a backdrop of round, smoothly graduated bokeh - even when shooting close subjects. Whether working with the camera in landscape or portrait, intuitive and fully customisable controls are always within easy reach, and this robust FX-format lens is fully sealed for working in dusty environments or unpredictable climates.

Key Features:

• Classic 35mm focal length, masterful imaging performance
• Extremely high f/1.2 aperture
