Now you can cover the highly useful zoom range of 18mm to 35mm (27-52.5mm on DX-format cameras) with the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED Lens that doesn’t carry a professional’s price tag.

Now you can cover the highly useful zoom range of 18mm to 35mm (27-52.5mm on DX-format cameras) with the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED Lens that doesn’t carry a professional’s price tag. Shoot beautiful wide-angle architectural shots, landscapes, group portraits and more; then zoom in for a natural field of view that is slightly wider than what we see with our eyes. You can even get as close as 0.92-feet from your subject! And since the AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is powered by Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for ultra-fast, ultra-quiet autofocusing, it’s an ideal choice for video applications. Wide-angle to Standard Zoom VersatilityThe AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is an excellent travel and all-purpose lens. Its 18mm wide-angle perspective brings more of what you see into the frame, ideal for shooting indoors or in close quarters, capturing architecture and landscapes as well as group portraits. But zoom all the way in, and you get a natural 35mm perspective that mimics the field of view of our eyes, ideal for just about any photo or video application. Ultra-fast, Ultra-quiet AutofocusingThe AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is powered by Nikon’s innovative Silent Wave Motor (SWM). This extraordinary focusing motor uses ultrasonic vibrations-rather than a gear system-to spin the lens barrel, resulting in nearly silent and ultra-fast autofocusing. If you want to override the AF system, simply take control of the focusing ring-M/A mode enables a seamless transition between auto and manual focusing.Nikon Lens Technologies for Consistently Stunning ImagesNikon’s innovations in optical design and lens technology have paved the way for more affordable high-performance lenses like the AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED. Two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements produce superior sharpness and color correction, and three Aspherical Lens (AS) elements virtually eliminate certain types of aberration. A rounded 7-blade diaphragm produces softer, more natural

Sharp and Beautiful Wide Angle Zoom I’ve been looking for a nice wide-angle lens for a couple of years now (especially after moving to full frame three years ago) and just couldn’t decide on anything in particular. I was looking for something very sharp throughout the frame, wide enough for most landscapes or architecture in closed-up spaces and light enough to take anywhere. I didn’t want to buy some cheap kit or third-party lens which might be good enough. I’m a self-proclaimed pixel peeper and I knew I wouldn’t be happy with a…
Very good value for the $, not bad at any price! I recently switched from a D200 to a D7000, and then to a D600. I’ve been shooting Nikon cameras both professionally and as a serious amateur since the early 70s, so I’ve seen my share of Nikon lenses.I was reluctant to give up my DX cameras because of the wonderful 17-55 and 12-24 lenses I had for my DX cameras. In fact, I waited to put my 12-24 up for sale until I had time to do a couple of shoots with this lens. I wasn’t disappointed. The 18-35 almost exactly replaces the 12-24…
I. Love. This. Lens. UPDATED 5/8/2015: I wanted to update this review to state the following. This lens is so nice, light, and sharp on my D800 that I’ve sold off pretty much all my other gear except for the 800, this lens, and the Nikon 50 1.8. This is all the Nikon gear I have left now. And I couldn’t be happier!I purchased this lens last summer to replace my Nikon 24-70 F2.8 that I sold. I wanted a lightweight lens instead of the beast of a 24-70. This lens fills that void. I find it to be extremely…
