Prime lens Yongnuo YN 35 mm f/2.0 DF DSM for Nikon Z mount

The Yongnuo YN 35 mm f/2.0 DF DSM for Nikon Z mount is a 35mm prime lens designed for Nikon Z-series mirrorless cameras.

The built-in DF DSM autofocus drive enables smooth and responsive focusing performance compatible with Z-mount camera bodies.

Advantages

The fast f/2.0 aperture offers improved low-light capability and greater control over depth of field for subject separation and background blur. The lens's compact and lightweight construction makes it convenient for handheld use and travel. The DF DSM autofocus system is engineered to deliver quiet and accurate focusing for stills and video, and the optical formula balances sharpness with controlled aberrations for natural rendering.

How to use

Attach the lens to a compatible Nikon Z camera body using the Z mount and ensure it is securely locked. Use the camera's autofocus or manual focus modes as required; the DF DSM drive provides responsive focusing for both stills and video. Set the aperture to f/2.0 when seeking shallow depth of field or improved performance in low light, and stop down as needed for greater depth of field and increased sharpness across the frame. Use standard exposure and metering modes on your camera and adjust ISO to maintain desired shutter speed in dim conditions.

Usage recommendations

For street and documentary work, keep the lens at or near f/2.0–f/4 to maintain subject separation while preserving flexibility. When shooting handheld in low light, combine the wide aperture with higher ISO as needed and enable in-camera stabilization or use faster shutter speeds to reduce motion blur. For video, use smooth focus transitions and avoid abrupt focus changes to take advantage of the DF DSM's quiet operation.
