Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f1.8 lens

This wide aperture DX NIKKOR lens has a fast maximum aperture which delivers a bright viewfinder experience and subtle background blurring with a shallow depth of field. Incorporating the NIKKOR Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for quiet accurate focus operation, the Nikon 35mm f1.8 prime is ideal for shooting landscapes or taking discreet snapshots, with a picture angle approximately that of the human eye.

When used with a DX-format digital SLR camera, the picture angle is the 35mm equivalent focal length of 50mm. Featuring a rounded seven-blade diaphragm opening, the Nikon 35mm AF-S f1.8 prime lens makes out of focus elements appear more natural. The AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f1.8G has two focus modes; M/A (manual override autofocus) and M (manual focus). In addition, the lens features a rubber seal to minimise moisture ingression around the mount

The Nikon 35mm f1.8 prime lens can focus down to 0.3 metres / 0.98 ft.

Included with the lens are a 52mm snap-on front lens cap LC-53, rear lens cap LF-1, bayonet hood HB-46 and flexible lens pouch CL-0913.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
