photoxelsMain features include a minimum focus distance of 10.6 in (0.27 m), a stepping motor (STM) for fast and quiet autofocus for both stills and video, clickless control ring, suppressed focus breathing, and dust and drip-resistant design.
Since Nikon’s full-frame and APS-C mirrorless cameras use the same Z mount, the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 can also be mounted on a Nikon APS-C mirrorless camera, though it then behaves more like a standard prime lens with an 52mm equivalent focal length.
The Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 lens will be available in late July 2024 for MSRP CAD $819.95 (SRP US $599.95).
