The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S provides f/1.2 wide-angle capability at 35mm — one stop faster than the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S launch lens. At 1,060g it is among the heaviest Z-mount standard-focal-length primes, reflecting the large optical formula (17 elements) required to maintain edge-to-edge sharpness at f/1.2 across the full-frame field.
On the used market the Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S is available at S-line ultra-fast prime pricing. Condition checks: AF response, 82mm front element for marks, S-line weather sealing. Compatible with all Nikon Z-mount full-frame and DX APS-C bodies.
