Thank you for purchasing the AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens. DX Nikkor lenses are specially designed for use 

with Nikon digital-SLR (Nikon DX-format) cameras, such as the D300 and D90. When mounted on Nikon DX-format 

cameras, the lens picture angle is equivalent to approximately 1.5

×

 the focal length in 35mm format. Before using 

this lens, please read these instructions and refer to your camera’s 

User’s Manual

.

Major features

• This lens employs a Silent Wave Motor to drive the 

focusing mechanism, making autofocusing smooth, 

silent and almost instantaneous. The focus mode 

switch 

9

 is provided for simple selection of 

autofocus (A) or manual focus (M) operation.

• More accurate exposure control is possible when this 

is mounted on a Nikon camera with 3D color matrix 

metering capability, because subject distance 

information is transferred from the lens to the camera.

• Superior optical performance and rendering 

characteristics are maximized with the use of one 

aspherical lens element. In addition, soft and pleasing 

blur characteristics in portions of pictures that are 

out-of focus are achieved by the rounded diaphragm.

• Up to two Wireless Remote Speedlight SB-R200s can 

be mounted on the edge of the lens.
