It’s time to explore a wider world of possibilities with the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S

Available Thursday: the fastest 35mm lens for Nikon, ever! Achieve a unique look with the uncommon combination of a wide-angle field of view with a super-bright f/1.2 aperture—take in the whole scene without losing the subject separation you’re used to finding in longer lenses. The S-line designation, as always, denotes the absolute highest NIKKOR quality. The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S is a stunning addition to any pro’s toolbox.

Nikon’s Meso Amorphous, Nano Crystal, and ARNEO coatings promise clarity across the frame, and Nikon has specifically paid special attention to preventing color aberrations in metal, as well as color and texture accuracy for skin and hair.

Plus, if you compare Nikon’s 85mm and 50mm f/1.2 Z lenses, you’ll find that the overall character of the images produced is closely matched, including the signature look of the bokeh in blurred backgrounds. Cohesive artistry means you can tell an effective story with minimal effort. The three lenses even use the same 85mm filter mount!

The large, reversible focus ring can be set to linear for minute control; for automatic ease, dual stepping motors do that minute control for you, quickly and quietly. And with a minimum focusing distance of only a foot, you’ll get noticeably more intimate portraits.

The best way to get a sense of this incredible optical tool is to look at the images it can produce. I’ll let the sample gallery speak for itself…
