Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S is a professional S-Line wide-angle lens for FX-format Nikon Z mirrorless cameras. The extreme f/1.2 aperture and 11-blade diaphragm give the classic 35 mm focal length smoothly graduated bokeh and a sense of depth. Three coatings suppress flare even against the light, and two stepping motors keep focus precise even wide open.

The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S gives photographers and filmmakers complete control over light. Fashion, reportage, fine art, action or documentary: light speaks, and this lens listens.

Perfectly balanced optics

The optical design combines very high image quality with precise focusing to capture scenes in masterful detail. Even the subtlest colour tones and details are recorded with maximum brilliance and contrast across the frame, even in harsh backlight. Transitions between foreground and background are so smooth that subjects appear almost three-dimensional.

Precise focus even at f/1.2

Photographers and videographers who want to use an extremely shallow depth of field can work at f/1.2 with confidence. Nikon’s fast, quiet and precise multi-focusing system with two stepping motors holds focus on the chosen point.

For filmmakers

Focus breathing is suppressed, so you can pull focus smoothly, and a linear focus ring response can be enabled for precise manual focusing.

Bokeh from an 11-blade diaphragm

The 11-blade rounded diaphragm and optimal correction of chromatic aberration create impressive bokeh with round point highlights. At f/1.2 the foreground flows smoothly into the background, and a very small part of the scene can be sharp against smoothly graduated blur – even at close range.
