Nikon 35-80mm f/4
The Nikon 35-80mm f/4-5.6D AF Nikkor is a compact standard zoom lens for the Nikon F mount, designed as a lightweight kit optic for autofocus 35mm SLR bodies. Its variable maximum aperture and D-type design indicate it transmits distance information to the camera body for matrix metering and flash exposure calculations.
At UK saleroom level this 35-80mm f/4-5.6D AF Nikkor is firmly an entry-tier kit zoom in today's market: the only verified hammer result on file is £10 in November 2025, which sets both the high and low of the recorded range. As a wholesale auction figure it excludes buyer's and seller's commission, so what a clean copy is worth at retail will sit higher, but the data confirms the lens sells for very modest sums and the value is driven almost entirely by condition rather than scarcity.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Nikon 35-80mm f/4-5.6D AF Nikkor sell for at UK auction?
The single verified UK auction hammer result on file is £10 from November 2025, so realistic wholesale prices for this lens sit in the very low single-digit-to-low-double-digit pound range.
What is a Nikon 35-80mm f/4-5.6D AF Nikkor worth today?
Based on the limited sales data, a clean working copy is worth only a few pounds at saleroom level in 2026, with condition, optical clarity and a smooth focus action being the main factors that move the price up or down.
Is the 35-80mm f/4-5.6D AF Nikkor a good value used lens?
As a budget standard zoom it offers a useful focal range on Nikon AF film and DSLR bodies for a very low price, but buyers should weigh the modest optical performance and plastic construction against the small outlay.
Will the 35-80mm f/4-5.6D autofocus on modern Nikon DSLRs?
Being a screw-drive AF-D lens, it will autofocus on Nikon DSLR bodies that retain an in-body AF motor, while entry-level DSLRs without a focus motor will only support manual focus with this lens.
