Balancing speed and portability, the NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7 Lens from Nikon is a standard prime designed for Z-mount cameras with APS-C sensors. Offering a 52.5mm full-frame equivalent field of view, it excels as an everyday lens for portrait, still-life, and street photography. The wide f/1.7 aperture provides control over depth of field and strong performance in low light, while its compact 2.8"-long build ensures convenient handling and integration with smaller DX-format bodies.

Featuring a minimum focus distance of just 6.3", the lens delivers intimate close-ups with sharp detail and smooth background separation. Its internal stepping motor system supports fast, quiet autofocus while maintaining a consistent form factor. Practical and versatile, the NIKKOR Z DX 35mm f/1.7 is well-suited for beginners and advanced photographers, capturing portraits, landscapes, and everything in between.
