The Nikon AF-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.5~4.5N, officially designated as the Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3~4.5N Macro (MK II), a wide-angle-telephoto zoom lens, produced from 1989 to 1995/6, was the follow-up of the Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 35-70mm f/3.3~4.5S, or the MK I, which was in production from 1986 to 1989.
The 'standard kit zoom' lens, praised for its portability, fast autofocus on motor-driven bodies, and surprisingly good image quality stopped down, is a selectable budget-friendly option for street and travel photography.
The MK II version of the all-plastic and compact metal mount zoom is identified by its broader manual focus ring. The iteration was initially assembled in Japan before its production was shifted to Thailand.
The 8-element in 7 groups lens has a 6-rounded blade iris, has a minimum focusing distance of 0.5 meters in normal mode and 0.35 meters in macro mode, is 69mm long × 70.5mm wide, weighs 260 grams, and takes 52mm filters.
The lens was among the early batch of Nikon autofocus lenses introduced with the launch of the AF Nikon F501/N2020 35mm SLR film cameras in 1986, and is virtually the same optically as the manual focus Nikon Ai-S 35-70mm F/3.3-4.5.
Album Images
Images for this album page are shot with the Nikkor AF 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5 mounted on the Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro, an interchangeable-lens digital SLR launched by Fujifilm, in collaboration with Nikon, in 2002. The S2 Pro was based on Nikon’s F80/N80 film body, where Fujifilm replaced the back and bottom sections with its proprietary electronics and the 6.2MP Super CCD sensor, while maintaining full compatibility with Nikon F-mount lenses and controls.

Based on the Fujifilm/Nikon tie-up, the S2 Pro is a robust metal-polymer built with the ergonomics and dial layout familiar to Nikon users. The camera uses a dual battery system with a CR123A to power the Nikon components, and a pack of 4x AA batteries to power the main functions of the camera.
