A compact and highly reliable wide-angle lens, this NIKKOR-S Auto 35mm f/2.8 is an early prime from the Nippon Kogaku era of the Nikon F system. The S designation indicates a seven-element optical formula, a design celebrated for its sharpness and excellent contrast, particularly valued by film shooters.

The 35mm focal length is a standard for documentary and street photography. This lens offers superb flexibility with a close-focus capability down to just 03 meters (1 foot), allowing for dramatic wide-angle perspectives.

This is a Non-Ai (pre-Ai) lens, identified by the solid coupling prong. It is compatible with older mechanical Nikon F, F2, and F3 bodies. For use on modern digital Nikon SLRs, an Ai-conversion is typically required to ensure full meter coupling and compatibility.
