The AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is Nikon's entry full-frame wide-angle zoom, covering 18mm to 35mm (27–52.5mm on DX bodies). It uses two ED elements and three aspherical elements to hold sharpness and control color fringing, and a Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet autofocus that suits video. It focuses to about 0.92 feet, so it works close in tight rooms and for near-macro wide shots. Against Nikon's 16-35mm f/4 VR and 14-24mm f/2.8, it gives up a stop of light, vibration reduction and a wider end, but it is far lighter and smaller, which is why owners treat it as a travel and landscape lens.

Owners rate it as a strong value wide-angle for full-frame Nikon bodies, praising sharpness stopped down and the light weight for travel. Critics note soft corners at 18mm wide open and the slow variable aperture.
The AF-S FX NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is a wide-angle to standard zoom lens for Nikon FX-format DSLR cameras. On DX-format cameras, its range is equivalent to 27-52.5mm. At 18mm it brings more of the scene into the frame, which suits architecture, landscapes, group portraits and shooting indoors or in close quarters. At 35mm it gives a natural field of view that is slightly wider than what the eye sees. It can focus as close as 0.92 feet from the subject.
Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) uses ultrasonic vibrations instead of a gear system to turn the lens barrel. This makes autofocus fast and nearly silent, which also suits video. The M/A mode lets you switch between auto and manual focus by taking hold of the focusing ring.
Two Extra-low Dispersion (ED) elements are used in the optical design to improve sharpness.
