Nikon 35mm f/1.4 AIs

The Nikon 35mm f/1.4 AIs is a fast wide-angle prime in Nikon's manual-focus F-mount line, produced in the AIs generation that succeeded the earlier AI coupling standard. It was designed for low-light reportage and general wide-angle work on Nikon's manual-focus SLR bodies, and remains usable on modern Nikon digital bodies via the F-mount.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 35mm f/1.4 AIs have sat between £190 and £288, based on the limited verified sales on record, giving a midpoint around £239 at saleroom level. As of 2026, what a clean copy sells for at auction depends heavily on glass condition and cosmetic wear, and the worth of a given example can shift well outside that band once the lens reaches retail dealers who add their own margin.
