The Nikon AF 35-135mm f/3.5-4.5 is a variable focal length zoom lens designed for the Nikon SLR system with an F-mount. This model belongs to the first generation of AF series autofocus optics and is characterized by a solid mechanical construction with a push-pull zoom system that allows for quick focal length and focus adjustment. The optical configuration is designed to cover from moderate wide-angle to medium telephoto focal lengths, making it a versatile component for general photography and portraiture. The maximum aperture varies from f/3.5 at the minimum focal length to f/4.5 at maximum extension, maintaining adequate operational brightness for various shooting conditions. The lens integrates a dedicated macro function, activated via a release button on the zoom ring, which reduces the minimum focusing distance for close-up shots. The manual aperture ring ensures full compatibility not only with newer autofocus camera bodies but also with previously produced Nikon manual SLR cameras.
