Background

The Nikon AF Nikkor 35-80mm f/4-5.6D, produced in the 1990s, was designed as a lightweight and affordable zoom lens for Nikon’s consumer autofocus SLRs. Compact and versatile, it covers a useful focal range from wide-angle to short telephoto, making it suitable for everyday shooting, portraits, and travel.

Compatibility & Format

This lens uses the Nikon F-mount, compatible with most Nikon 35mm film SLRs and many Nikon DSLRs. It can also be adapted for mirrorless digital systems. Autofocus requires a Nikon body with a built-in AF motor; on other bodies, it functions as a manual-focus lens.

Usage Notes

Compact and easy to handle, the 35-80mm is a great walkaround lens. Its variable aperture of f/4–5.6 is best suited for daylight shooting. The lens delivers sharp and pleasing results for casual film photographers and enthusiasts alike.
