Category: Mirrorless Lenses

The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S is Nikon’s first 35mm f/1.2 prime, joining the 50mm
and 85mm f/1.2 S lenses at the top of the Z line. The wide aperture buys both
low-light capability and strong subject separation at a focal length that keeps
the surroundings in frame, which is what suits it to event, documentary,
lifestyle and environmental portrait work.

Optics

17 elements in 15 groups, including three ED elements against chromatic
aberration and color fringing, and one aspherical ED element controlling
spherical aberration and distortion for edge-to-edge sharpness. A rounded
11-blade diaphragm keeps out-of-focus highlights smooth, and Meso Amorphous,
Nano Crystal and ARNEO coatings reduce ghosting and flare.

Autofocus

  • Multi-focusing system with dual STM motors, quiet enough for video.
  • Close focus at 13.4″.
  • Minimal focus breathing, so framing holds through a focus pull.

Handling

  • Clickless control ring, programmable for aperture, exposure compensation or ISO.
  • Two customizable L-Fn buttons.
  • Dust and drip-resistant sealing.
  • 82mm filter thread, shared with the Z 50mm and 85mm f/1.2 S so filters swap between all three.

Sophia ★★★★★

The autofocus on this lens is incredibly fast and silent, which made shooting in a dimly lit church a breeze. The f/1.2 aperture gives such a dreamy, smooth background separation that I’ve never gotten from my older lenses.

Timothy V. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this lens for street portraits at dusk, and the way it handles sharpness even wide open is impressive—detail on eyelashes is crystal clear. The build feels solid without being too heavy, and the manual focus ring has just the right amount of resistance. It’s quickly become my go-to f

Violet ★★★★★

That f/1.2 aperture is a game-changer for indoor events—I was shooting in a dimly lit room and still got sharp, clean images without cranking the ISO. The subject separation from the background is incredibly smooth, too.
