    Overview

    The Nikon AF Nikkor 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 (I) is a vintage zoom with solid build quality, featuring metal construction and smooth push-pull zoom/focus. Optically, it offers decent performance but suffers from softness and flare wide open, improving when stopped down to f/5.6. Chromatic aberration is present but not severe. The variable aperture (f/3.5-4.5) was a compromise for its time. It includes a 1:4 macro mode. Best suited for FX digital and 35mm film users seeking an affordable, compact zoom with character.
