The Nikon Series E 35mm f/2.8 (JAPL4) has been carefully tested and cleaned by the CPB Darkroom team. Rated 8.5/10, it shows some cosmetic wear typical of age, but remains optically and mechanically sound. The glass is clean—free of haze, fungus, or scratches—and both focus and aperture rings move smoothly and precisely. Sample photos shown were made on film using this exact lens, reflecting its rendering and optical character.

Compact, lightweight, and optically impressive, the 35mm f/2.8 from Nikon’s Series E line was designed for portability without sacrificing image quality. It delivers a classic, contrasty Nikon look with pleasant rendering, especially well-suited for travel, street, and everyday shooting.

This lens uses the Nikon F-mount and works seamlessly with Nikon’s manual-focus SLRs, as well as digital bodies that support non-CPU lenses. It includes an aperture ring, making it ideal for analog users and hybrid shooters alike.
