At a Glance

On Nikon F cameras with an APS-C sensor, the 30 mm focal length gives a 45 mm full-frame equivalent view, a classic standard perspective. The f/1.4 aperture shortens shutter times in low light and allows shallow depth of field. Everyday, street and low light scenes are typical uses. A hypersonic motor drives the autofocus, and the lens weighs 400 g.

  • Everyday
  • Street
