The perfectly balanced optical design enhances the performance of the 11-blade circular diaphragm and controls chromatic aberrations to deliver beautifully rounded bokeh. Thanks to a large f/1.2 aperture, transitions between backgrounds and foregrounds are smooth: you can focus precisely on the smallest element in a scene against a smooth, round bokeh background, even when shooting close-ups.

The Filmmaker’s Choice
Shoot with the full-frame NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S lens and your story will take shape with fluid precision. The bright f/1.2 aperture expands the possibilities and lets you express your creativity with depth of field and bokeh.

Advanced Optical Design
Carefully engineered optical construction minimizes refraction so light can pass naturally through this 35mm lens to the sensor. Nikon’s high-performance Meso-Amorphous, ARNEO, and Nano Crystal Coatings virtually eliminate flare and ghosting. Extra-low Dispersion (ED) and Aspherical ED glass prevent chromatic aberration and distortion.

Fast, Accurate AF
Focus on composition, Nikon’s fast, discreet multi-group AF system will ensure precision. Even when shooting at f/1.2 where the focal plane is extremely narrow, you can quickly lock focus and the dual stepping motors will make continuous adjustments to ensure precise focusing.
