DESCRIPTION
The Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD Lens for Nikon F updates a traditional wide-angle prime lens with a sophisticated optical design and VC image stabilisation for improved image quality. One Low Dispersion element, one eXtra Low Dispersion element, two aspherical elements, and eBAND and BBAR coatings work to reduce flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour fidelity. These elements work together to control a variety of aberrations and distortions for even illumination, sharpness, and reduced colour fringing.
This 35mm f/1.8 lens's ring-type USD motor, which offers quick, quiet autofocus performance with full-time manual focus capabilities, complements its imaging capabilities. A minimum focusing distance of 7.9" and a maximum magnification of 1:2.5 are achieved with the help of an inner focusing design and the Floating System. The lens's construction is also noteworthy for having several water-resistant seals and a fluorine-coated front element to prevent fingerprints, smudging, and water.
- A wide-angle prime, this 35mm lens is designed for FX format Nikon F mount DSLRs, and is also compatible with DX models where it will provide a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.
- Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also avails selective focus control.
- One LD (Low Dispersion) element helps to minimize chromatic aberrations in order to achieve greater clarity with reduced color fringing.
- Two aspherical elements correct for spherical and comatic aberrations, as well as distortion, for consistent edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination throughout the aperture range, as well as a reduction of sagittal comatic flare.
- eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) and BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coatings have been applied to lens elements to reduce surface reflections and prevent lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy.
- VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilization is incorporated into the lens' design to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting in low-light conditions.
- Ring-type USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor is employed for fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance that benefits both stills and video recording. This motor also enables full-time manual focus control without having to shift into a dedicated MF mode.
- A Floating System is employed that moves a single group of elements to control focus in order to provide faster AF response as well as a minimum focusing distance of 7.9" and maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.5 for enhanced close-up shooting.
- Moisture-resistant construction incorporates seals around the lens mount and other areas to benefit working in inclement conditions. Additionally, a fluorine coating has been applied to the front lens element to repel water, fingerprints, and smudges for easier cleaning of the lens surface.
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces a pleasing out-of-focus quality when working with shallow depth of field techniques.
