Zoom Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5

The lens came with the kit of Nikon FA was a very practical easy to use, light lens. Easy to carry and fits the camera bag.

One of the lightest and most compact zoom lenses in the most used focal lengths for maximum versatility in everyday picture taking. Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm 1/35-4.5 is versatile, easy-to-operate, compact and high performance. It gives you a choice of focal lengths from a wideangle 35mm to a moderate telephoto 70mm. And you can move right up to smaller subjects with the built-in macro focusing at any focal length. Use it lor regular snapshots, souvenir photos, portraits and close-up photography.

Zooming and focusing are accomplished through two independent rings so once you have focused on your subject you can frame it with the zoom without losing sharpness, The minimum focusing distance is normally 0.5m (2 ft), buf you can get continuous focusing all the way down to 0,35 m (1 ft) through the equipped macro function. The maximum reproduction ratio is 1 :4,4. For even greater magnification, just add an optional Nikon close up lens. For special effects, the front attachment size of 52mm makes the maximum number of optional filters available to you .
Constructed of the highest quality Nikon glass, this zoom lens produces sharp images with high contrast from the shortest to the longest local length with all abberations well corrected. In addition, Nikon Integrated Coating (NIC) is applied to all air-to-glass surfaces of the lens elements to minimize ghost images and flare and produce photographs with natural color rendition.
With suitably equipped Nikon cameras, (like my Nikon FA) this lens offers "Automatic Maximum Aperture Indexing" (AI). The meter coupling ridge and automatic diaphragm function together to permit full aperture exposure measuremen. For non-AI type Nikon cameras, this lens is also fitted with a meter coupling shoe to permit the same operation.
