The Nikon 35-70 mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor is one of Nikon's standard zoom lenses lenses. This Double-Gauss lens[2] replaces the 35-70mm f/2.8 (non-D).[3]
Introduction
editThe auto-focus Nikon 35-70mm f/2.8 was first introduced in 1987; then updated to the 35-70 f/2.8D in 1992, and finally discontinued in 2006.
On a Nikon DX format DSLR, a 35-70 mm lens is cropped to the angle of a view of a normal to medium telephoto lens (~55-115 mm equivalent; field-of-view crop is 1.54). When used on DX format cameras the resulting angle of view along with its large aperture also make it a lens suitable for portraiture.
With the built in macro mode, available at the 35mm focal length, it can also be used for Macro photography. This acts as a built-in extension tube, giving it a maximum magnification of 1:4; in normal mode, it has 1:7.
The lack of an internal autofocus motor means that this lens can only use manual focus on entry level cameras such as the D40, D60, D3000 or D5000.[3]
