How to Use the Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S Lens

Experience premium lens construction

The third in Nikon’s renowned S line of portrait lenses, the Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S Lens features an impressive combination of elements and coatings in its optical construction. With 17 elements in 15 groups, including three ED, one aspherical ED, and three aspherical elements, the lens delivers exceptional resolution and colour accuracy while minimising chromatic aberrations and distortion. Nikon’s Meso Amorphous, ARNEO, and Nano Crystal coatings further suppress ghosting and flare, ensuring clarity even in challenging lighting conditions. This makes it ideal for high-contrast scenes, from bright sunlight to complex backlit compositions.

Utilise the lens’s aperture

The Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S Lens’s f1.2 aperture provides excellent low-light performance and extensive depth-of-field control. The 11-blade round diaphragm enhances background blur, delivering smooth, natural bokeh with beautifully rendered out-of-focus areas. Additionally, the S-Line optics accurately reproduce skin tones, patterns and textures for excellent colour and contrast. The optical construction controls fringing and maintains sharpness, even at wide-open apertures, ensuring seamless transitions between in-focus and blurred areas for both stills and videos.

Film with confidence

The Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S Lens is designed for both photography and video applications. Thanks to the f1.2 maximum aperture, it features impressive low-light performance and cinematic, ultra-shallow depth of field, whilst isolating the smallest details. It effectively suppresses focus breathing, maintaining a consistent angle of view when pulling focus. The silent autofocus system ensures minimal operational noise, while the manual control ring, with linear response control, provides smooth, precise adjustments. This makes it a strong choice for cinematic shots, interviews, and creative depth-of-field transitions.

Focus with precision

Equipped with a multi-focusing system and dual stepping motors, the Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S Lens delivers fast, precise, and silent autofocus. The internal focusing system maintains stability by not extending the lens, preventing movement, and improving performance during close-range focusing. With a minimum focus distance of 0.3m and a 0.2x maximum reproduction ratio, it offers flexibility for close-up work while retaining sharpness across the frame.

Shoot in any environment

The Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S features a metal construction that ensures durability, while the well-balanced dimensions provide a comfortable handling experience. The two handy L-Fn buttons and the clickless control ring can be assigned custom functions to shoot without breaking eye contact with your subject. The body of the Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S Lens is sealed at the joints and buttons for additional protection, and a rubber gasket prevents dust, dirt, or moisture from entering the lens mount.

FAQs:

What is the minimum focus distance of the Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S Lens?

The Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S has a minimum focus distance of 0.3m, allowing you to get relatively close to your subject while maintaining sharpness. Its 0.2x maximum reproduction ratio ensures fine details are well-rendered, making it suitable for capturing textures, small objects, and close-up compositions without significant distortion.

What filters can be used with this lens?

How compact is the Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S Lens?

The Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S Lens weighs 1060g and measures 90mm x 150mm, making it one of the larger Nikon Z primes. While it has a solid, well-balanced build, extended handheld use may feel more comfortable with a camera body with a substantial grip. Its weight reflects the high-quality 17-element optical construction and wide f1.2 aperture, ensuring high quality and durability.

Can I use the Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S Lens on an APS-C camera?

When paired with an APS-C camera, the Nikon Z 35mm f1.2 S provides a 44° angle of view, equivalent to a 52mm field of view on a full-frame camera. This gives a more standard perspective, making it better suited for portraits and everyday shooting rather than wide-angle compositions.

What other focal length options are available in the Nikon f1.2 S line of lenses?

Nikon has previously released two other iterations of lenses with an f1.2 aperture and fixed focal length in the Nikon S line. The 35mm joins the Nikon Z 50mm f1.2 and the Nikon Z 85mm f1.2 as a third option in the line-up of portrait and fashion lenses with this wide aperture. The 50mm lens excels in portraiture and includes an integrated OLED screen, which displays accurate measurements for aperture, focal distance, ISO and depth of field. The 80mm offers impressive cinematic contrast and colour in a mid-telephoto prime lens.
