Painterly bokeh. Background objects can be transformed into compositional elements; points of light into smooth, soft circles.. Video workhorse. The compact size of the lens is ideal for use on a gimbal; the silent STM lens drive minimizes operational noises for fast, silent autofocus and suppressed focus breathing.. Low-light freedom. Capture more details at lower ISO and use faster shutter speeds with a wide f/1.4 aperture.. At home on all Z series mirrorless cameras. The full-frame/FX format NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 lens has a 52mm equivalent field of view on an APS-C size/DX format camera.. Close focus. Lens focuses as close as 10.6 inches from the subject for revealing details.
