About this product

Product Information

The Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8D lens is quite simply one of the enduring titans of modern professional-grade digital photography. It is arguably one of the best lenses available, and at a jaw-dropping accessible price point. This exquisite machine features glass and craftsmanship of a quality that virtually no optics of any era can match. This 35-70mm is well-known for producing incredibly sharp images to exacting specifications, with no softening at the corners, even when wide open. This means your landscape photographs will look great. At the same time, it can close-focus down to two feet, and then much closer in macro mode, with no reduction in sharpness. Bees and flowers pop. Compared with contemporaries costing much more, this Nikon f/2.8 lens has almost no distortion through the entire zoom range even in macro mode. Stop the aperture all the way down to f/22 and there is no distortion or darkening of corners. This versatility is why it is the perfect go-to lens for travel. The autofocus is fast enough for great sports shots, and the manual focus is smooth and easy to adjust. It’s not an understatement to say that almost all professional photographers have this prized possession in their toolkit, and it is often the default on their camera. This Nikon f/2.8 lens is compact and durable, made of metal and professional glass. It has a satisfying heft in the hands but is small and light enough to work great for long days of focus in the field. It features an HB-1 plastic bayonet hood. This 35-70mm is an enduring workhorse, a true modern classic whose 70mm provides just the magnification needed. Nikkor was an optics company first, and it pushed the design envelope for half a century before introducing Nikon to the world. They have always been obsessed with the craftsmanship and science of optics, and for this reason, they’ve produced “instruments of light” which are unparalleled in imaging. Unmodified Nikkor lenses have fittingly been taken by NASA to the International Space Station many times — a great reflection of the durability and quality which is built into these products. This rich history eventually led the engineers to produce a zoom lens that offers excellence in range, durability, sharpness, and speed. It is supremely adaptable to portraits, travel and action shots, sweeping panoramas, and intimate close-ups. Image quality is consistent in a huge variety of environments. This Nikon zoom lens comes with a front cap, a rear cap, and a handy Tiffen 62mm SKY 1-A filter (a great accessory which enables you to take great outdoor photos in varied conditions). This Nikon lens is completely compatible with every camera in the following Nikon lines: Df, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D810, D800, D800E, D750, D700, D610, D600, D500, D300s, D300, D200, D7200, D7100, D7000, D90, D80, D70s, D50, and D100. It is also compatible with some other cameras. The Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 35-70mm f/2.8D is an essential and versatile tool in your quiver of zoom lenses, and in all likelihood will become your favorite lens and produce your favorite photo. Sharp!

    Bang for buck, wonderful!

    This is an older Nikon lens, but its performance is outstanding, even by today's standards. It is a push and pull type zoom, and you have to physically move a switch on your camera to change between auto focus and manual focus, but that is NOT a big deal; if you are going to manually focus, you usually have enough time to move your finger over the switch to activate manual mode anyway! And zooming in or out, so what? Many do not like this len's range is only from 35-70 mm. But in my opinion, that is true mid-range anyway, and perfect for groups shots, and closer shots, to include full body and waist up photography, which is perfect for wedding impromptu shoots, senior photos, and everyday gatherings. More formal photos, well, you have time to pull out a prime 85mm for that. But for general ...

    Nikon 35-70 f/2.8 lens

    This lens, and probably others made a while ago, were used so much that I think it ended up so filled with dust and other image destructive problems that it wasn't a very good buy - even at $200. I liked the idea of it - especially because it was much cheaper than the 28-70 f/2.8 and a lot cheaper than the 24-70 f/2.8. I needed a fast lens to use for indoor events without a flash but it just didn't pan out.

    Good but hard to find excellent

    This is a good old Nikon professional zoom lens. Surprisingly sharp wide open and great color rendition. Good performance throughout the focal ranges. It's also an extremely finicky lens. You will probably need to do some AF tuning, and you will have to watch the light at it flares like crazy. The lens is built like a tank and its all-metal body looks like it can take a beating. And they usually have. Being a popular pro lens, you will find that it's rather difficult to find a good specimen in prime condition. Most of them will have dings and scratches, but even those advertised as "mint" may have haze or balsam separation. If you think you can pay $100 more to get an item in great condition, you should think twice. Paying over $200 for this lens is probably not going to increase your ...

    Nikon AF 35-70 2.8D

    I was looking for a mid range zoom to shoot basketball along with my 80-200 2.8 without breaking the bank. I researched this lens and found that if i got a good copy without the hazing issue or any fungus, it was a great deal. This lens is working out perfectly and i got a great one that is very clean, without any of the above issues. Although it doesn't focus as fast as an AF-S lens, nor is it as quiet but this does not matter to me at all. I have gotten great images with this lens, even wide open at f2.8, it is solid all metal construction with no plastic like the newer versions. I also like the fact that i don't have to worry about AF-S motor failure. If your camera has an in body focus motor this lens is a great addition to your camera bag!

    Pro quality standard zoom

    Proper Nikkor Lens. All you need to know really. Metal body and tack sharp. Very fast AF. Tested on a Nikon F4 and D810. Macro function allows very close focus indeed. Uses standard 62mm filter size so easy to combine with square filter systems. Correct Hood in Nikon HB-1. This is not perfect but works. In short I think this lens is an absolute bargain.
