All the numbers on the NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7

Nikon Team •Deep Focus•15 Oct 2025•5 min read

The stats and specs that matter for the Nikon’s superfast standard micro lens

Mount: Nikon Z Mount

Nikon’s Z mount is wider than the competition, and a wide mount means more light (and more detail) hitting your camera’s sensor.

Aperture range: f/1.7–f/16 at infinity focus distance, f/3.6–f/22 at 0.16m focus distance

The fast f/1.7 aperture lets you create beautiful bokeh blur and also allows you to shoot in challenging low-light situations.

Lens construction: eight elements in seven groups

The optical engineering in the NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7 includes one aspherical ED glass element to minimise chromatic aberration, giving you sharp, accurate images.

Size and weight: approx. 70mm x 72mm (diameter x length), approx. 220g

The NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7 is small and light, making your system easy to carry around all day and night.

What’s in our kitbag?

NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7Just add imagination

Focusing system: multi-focus IF (internal focusing system)

Fast, accurate autofocus using an STM (stepping motor) makes it easy for you to get the image you want when the moment arrives.

Controls: clickless control ring

The control ring can be set to control a number of different camera functions. This can be useful in video recording when functions that might make a small noise from a button or switch can be controlled silently.

Filter size: 52mm

Easily add readily available filters, such as UV, polarising, neutral density and more, for creative effects.

Minimum focus distance: 0.16m (from the image sensor)

The short minimum focus distance on the NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7 gives you opportunities to get very close to your subject, while the 0.67x reproduction ratio (life-size equivalent in full frame) lets you experiment with macro photography.

Included accessories: LC-52B front lens cap, LF-N1 rear lens cap

Optional extras include the CL-C1 lens case and the new HN-43 lens hood, which is also compatible with the NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8, NIKKOR Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE), NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 and NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 (SE).
