The new AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED lens has been rumored for a few weeks now, and has finally been officially unveiled. The new 18-35mm lens offers full frame coverage for FX-format DSLRs like the D600 and D800.

It features 12 elements in 8 groups and a 7-blade diaphragm. The lens has two focus modes: M/A (AF with manual override) and full manual, and features Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor. Minimum focus distance is approximately 11 inches.

The AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED lens should be available in March at a retail price of $749.95. Check availability at B&H Photo and Amazon.com.

    Wish it was an f/4 all the way through. I hate when my settings change while zooming and will end up having to shoot at f/4.5 to avoid this. The Canon 17-40L offers a bit more range and the constant f/4.

      Can someone explain the reason for this lens,I might be missing something.I have a 17-35 f2.8 i have lots of D3s’s and a d600 before that I had and still have and use the 20-35 f2.8 Do I need a refresher course. If we are talking about less heavy equipment,I am all ears.If we are talking inferior equipment,I don’t want to be distracted…..

    For that price I would expect a constant f stop throughout the zoom.

    With the D600 now in place a lower price ultra wide will fit better in the enthusiast’s budget than the 14-24 or even the 16-35. It is all about sells the way I see it and if your not making money or not a lot of money shooting, it’s hard for the average person to dish out thousands for an extra lens. Us married guys can testify to it.
