35–105mm · f/3.5–4.5
The Nikon AF Nikkor 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 D is a sturdy, metal-built zoom lens with smooth handling, though the aperture ring is close to the mount. Optically, it suffers from softness and flare wide open, improving when stopped down to f/5.6, and exhibits chromatic aberration. It offers a useful macro function at 1:4 ratio. Ideal for FX digital and 35mm film, it is a budget-friendly option for portrait and general use, but not recommended for DX cameras.
