Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G

Name: AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G
Brand: Nikon
Availability: InStock

The most popular prime for Nikon APS-C DSLRs — the AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8G delivers a natural 52mm full-frame equivalent field of view on the D7500 at a price that makes it an obvious first prime purchase. Fast, silent SWM autofocus and excellent sharpness from wide open make it an outstanding everyday lens for street, travel, and documentary photography. Designed for DX (APS-C) bodies — also mounts on full-frame Nikon F-mount cameras such as the D850, where it is automatically used in DX crop mode.

GearFrame's Take

The best-value prime for the D7500 — a natural perspective, fast AF, and f/1.8 aperture for under £150.
