The details

At a glance: 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 FX standard zoom - compact and light, early Nikon AF, screw-drive.

About this lens

The Nikon AF 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 is a compact early-generation AF standard zoom, released in 1987. A light, simple 'walkabout' zoom with modest range, aimed at the consumer end of Nikon's early AF film SLR market.

Build & handling

Autofocus Screw-drive AF (requires body with AF motor)
Image stabilisation No
Minimum focus distance 0.50m (0.25m in macro mode)
Filter thread 52mm
Weight 220g
Construction Plastic barrel, metal mount

Works with

  • Nikon F-mount full-frame DSLRs with built-in AF motor (D750, D780, D810, D850, D6 and older pro bodies)
  • Nikon F-mount APS-C DSLRs with AF motor (D500, D7x00 series)
  • Nikon Z mirrorless via FTZ/FTZ II adapter - manual focus only
  • Not autofocusing on entry-level Nikons (D3xxx / D5xxx) - no in-body AF motor

Best for

A light, small early AF standard zoom - simple and lightweight, but modest in range. Includes a macro mode for closer focusing. Because it uses screw-drive AF, it requires a Nikon DSLR with a built-in autofocus motor.

Frequently asked questions

Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?

No. This is a screw-drive AF lens and entry-level Nikon DSLRs don't have a built-in autofocus motor, so you'd be stuck with manual focus. For AF on those bodies you'd need an AF-S, AF-P or AF-I lens.

Does this lens have image stabilisation?

No — this lens does not have image stabilisation.

  • A proper little treasure trove

    3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
