The AF 35mm F1.8 II is an APS-C prime lens designed for general-purpose photography, combining a standard focal length with a bright F1.8 aperture. It has been redesigned to reduce weight while maintaining optical performance, making it more practical for travel, street photography, and long handheld shooting sessions.
An updated optical structure helps balance image quality with a more compact build, while modern autofocus and close focusing capability support a wide range of everyday shooting situations.
This lens is suited to photographers who want a compact, versatile prime for:
The lens uses a revised optical design of 7 groups and 10 elements, including ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and high-refractive elements. This helps control optical aberrations while allowing a more compact physical structure.
The STM stepping motor with lead screw drive enables smooth autofocus performance, supporting subject recognition such as eyes, animals, and vehicles for more reliable tracking in everyday shooting.
A redesigned lightweight body improves handling, especially during extended handheld use or travel.
The key improvement of this version is balance: reduced weight without sacrificing optical capability. The F1.8 aperture allows for strong low-light performance and shallow depth of field, while the updated autofocus system supports modern subject tracking workflows.
The closer 0.4m minimum focus distance adds flexibility for detail-oriented shooting, making the lens more adaptable across different creative scenarios.
