Nikon has expanded its prestigious line of high-performance lenses with the release of the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S. This professional-grade S-Line lens, with its exceptionally bright f/1.2 aperture and extraordinary resolving power, offers photographers and filmmakers new avenues for creative expression. Ideal for fashion, editorial work, fine art, events, and documentary projects, this lens captures light with unparalleled finesse.
The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S provides users with exquisite control over light, allowing them to shape their images precisely to their creative vision. Its meticulously balanced optical design, combined with powerful rendering capabilities and precision focusing, ensures that every scene is captured with remarkable clarity and detail. Colours are vivid, textures are finely rendered, and contrast remains impeccable across the entire frame—even when shooting directly into harsh light sources. The transition between sharpness and bokeh is so smooth that subjects stand out with an almost three-dimensional sense of depth.
For those who thrive on cinematic storytelling, the ultra-shallow depth of field achievable with the f/1.2 aperture unlocks unparalleled creative possibilities. Nikon''s advanced multi-focusing system ensures razor-sharp focus, even when capturing the slimmest sliver of a scene. Close-range shots maintain their clarity while exhibiting beautifully smooth, round bokeh. Whether shooting in landscape or portrait orientation, users benefit from intuitive, fully customisable controls that are always within easy reach. The robust build of the lens, fully sealed to protect against dust and moisture, makes it a reliable companion in challenging environments.
This sophisticated lens offers precision optics, featuring 17 elements in 15 groups, including specialised ED and SR lens elements that work in harmony to counter light dispersion and prevent colour fringing, distortion, and aberrations. Nikon''s advanced anti-reflective coatings—Meso Amorphous Coat, ARNEO Coat, and Nano Crystal Coat—virtually eliminate flare and ghosting, ensuring clarity even in backlit environments.
Filmmakers will appreciate the lens''s ability to shape narratives with fluid precision. The classic 35mm focal length pairs seamlessly with the fast f/1.2 aperture, allowing for cinematic storytelling with suppressed focus breathing and the option for linear manual focus pulling. The multi-focusing system, driven by dual stepping motors, delivers swift and precise autofocus, even when working with an ultra-shallow depth of field.
Handling is effortless, with two L-fn buttons thoughtfully positioned for easy access in both horizontal and vertical shooting orientations. The large, knurled focus ring operates smoothly, and the fully customisable control ring offers further operational versatility. Built to withstand demanding conditions, the lens features extensive sealing at barrel joints and buttons, along with a rubber gasket to prevent dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the lens mount.
The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S accepts 82mm screw-on filters, matching the specifications of its counterparts, the 50mm and 85mm f/1.2 S-Line lenses. Together, these lenses form the S-Line f/1.2 trinity, offering consistent image characteristics across depth of field, colour fidelity, tone, and bokeh—allowing visual storytellers to shift perspectives seamlessly.
Nikon''s NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S is a testament to the brand''s commitment to innovation and craftsmanship. Whether capturing stills or crafting compelling cinematic sequences, this lens empowers creators to push the boundaries of their artistry and tell their stories with unparalleled clarity and beauty.
