Nikon Z 35mm f1.7 DX MC Macro Lens

Meet the bright 35mm DX macro lens that’s great for general photography and video too. With its fast f/1.7 aperture, beautiful bokeh, and sharp close focusing, you can go big on the details in any light.

With its fast f/1.7 maximum aperture, this macro prime is a brilliant opportunity to experiment with close-up photography, explore the art of bokeh, and create freely in low light. The 0.67x maximum reproduction ratio (equivalent to 1:1 life-size magnification in 35mm/FX format) will reveal subject detail normally too small to see, while the ‘normal’ 35mm focal length makes framing intuitive. Beyond macro, this lens makes a great choice for artful everyday photos and video too.

Life-size magnification
The textures, the colours, the shapes. The NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7 prime lens creates richly detailed true macro shots. Its 0.67x maximum reproduction ratio is equivalent to 1:1 life-size magnification in 35mm/FX format.

Everyday versatility
Thanks to its 35mm focal length (approx. 50mm full-frame equivalent), you can use this fast prime lens for more than just macro. Candid travel portraits, landscapes, food photography, and more: its natural perspective is beautifully rewarding.

Natural storyteller
This lens’ normal field of view so closely matches our own that framing your shots becomes wonderfully intuitive. Realistic proportions, balanced backgrounds: move around freely and get as close as you like—each composition will feel just right.

Gets close, stays sharp
A minimum focus distance of just 0.16 m lets you attain super-sharp images, even when the front of the lens is just 7.2 cm away from your subject.

Explore the art of bokeh
Shoot wide open at f/1.7 and you can create photos and video with a real sense of depth. High-resolution rendering and an aspherical ED glass element ensure crisp subject detail and soft, round bokeh highlights. Your close-ups will pop!

Create freely in available light
From striking macro shots bathed in window light, to sharp portraits taken at night. The f/1.7 aperture lets you capture cleaner images at low ISOs. Or use faster shutter speeds to freeze motion and nail steadier handheld shots.

Built for travel and new points of view
Small, portable, and comfortably light, you won’t think twice about keeping the NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7 prime lens on your camera as you walk around. Such a lightweight setup can also help with composing the perfect macro shot: you can hold the camera with one hand while (re)positioning your subject with the other.

Ready for video and scene-stealing close-ups

Fast, quiet AF
A high-speed stepping motor (STM) enables rapid, almost silent autofocus. It performs brilliantly with your Z camera’s subject detection, and focusing sounds won’t ruin your footage.

Reduced focus breathing
Focus breathing is suppressed, so you can attain smoother focus pulls and more natural-looking transitions. Great for close-ups and dramatic reveals.

Silent control ring
You can quietly adjust settings by assigning key functions to the control ring. Easily switch to manual focus or create a natural shift in brightness with precise aperture adjustments.
