Why we recommend this

A constant f/1.8 aperture across an 18-35mm zoom range delivers unprecedented low-light capability and depth-of-field control for an APS-C lens. Its optical formula, incorporating four aspherical and five SLD glass elements, ensures sharpness and contrast that rival prime lenses. This lens is best for portrait photographers on Nikon DX systems who need a fast, versatile zoom without sacrificing background separation.
