Product Description
The Nikon AF NIKKOR 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 D is a versatile "all-in-one" zoom lens from the 1990s, designed to cover the most essential focal lengths for general-purpose photography. This "D-type" version was a significant update over the original, as it includes a micro-chip that transmits distance information to the camera body, enhancing the accuracy of 3D Matrix Metering and flash calculations. Its "push-pull" design is a classic ergonomic feature of that era, where a single large ring is pushed forward or pulled back to change the focal length, while rotating the same ring adjusts the focus.
Technically, the lens features an internal construction of 13 elements in 10 groups and is built with a rugged, professional feel despite its consumer-oriented focal range. The "D" series version is often preferred by collectors and users because it features a more refined optical formula than the earlier non-D versions. It also includes a dedicated "Macro" mode at the 105mm end, which is engaged by a small switch on the barrel, allowing for significantly closer focusing on small subjects. Because this is an "AF" (Autofocus) lens rather than an "AF-S" lens, it relies on a mechanical "screwdriver" linkage, meaning it will only autofocus on Nikon DSLR bodies that have a built-in focus motor (such as the D7000 series, D600, D700, D800, and professional D-series bodies).
