Used Nikon AF 35mm f/2 D

The 35mm lenses lived a kind of rediscovery in the digital era, because for users of cameras with APS-C sensor, these offered almost the same angle of image as a 50mm lens of the film cameras, so they were Chosen by many photographers, professionals and amateurs, among the first choices. Among the lenses particularly loved by the Nikon user community, we find the AF 35mm F-2 D. This lens was initially, and it is still, designed to be used as the first moderate wide angle on full frame cameras and despite its 1995 design It is rather aged, its performances, they still make one of the favorites. The construction quality of the lens is very good and in line with the cheaper of the Nikkor. The external rod is made of combined polycarbonate with metal support. The small rubberized focus ring is fluid, partially dampened and rotates during the AF operation. As with all the lenses with a linear extension system, the entire room moves during the focus, making the lens extend, especially when focusing on more close focus distances. The lens does not have an internal AF engine and reaches a traction life operated by the camera, therefore the car focus is not available on the DSLR Nikon entry level without engine. Obviously, as a result of a screw transmission, the AF operations generate a moderate noise level. The front element does not rotate and it is therefore possible to use a polarizer. The optical group consists of 6 elements in 5 groups, the diaphragm has 7 lamellae, the maximum focus distance is 0.25 meters. The dimensions are 65 x 45mm for 205 grams of weight.
