New Nikon lens aimed at students
Nikon has added the AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G to it’s range of lenses for enthusiasts. The wide aperture lens will be on sale from 6th March, priced £199.99.
It incorporates Nikkor’s ultra-compact ring type silent wave motor, which the company claims makes for a quiet focus operation even with cameras without built-in motors such as the Nikon D40 and Nikon D60. When mounted on a DX-format SLR, the picture angle is the 35mm equivalent focal length of 50mm.
“We expect that many customers, particularly photography students, will find this lens an affordable choice for expanding their photographic system,” Ludovic Drean, product manager at Nikon Europe.
The lens can focus down to 0.3 meters (0.98 ft) and also features a rubber seal to minimize moisture entering through areas around the mount.
