What it is

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.

Inspect the front and rear elements under a torch for fungus, haze and cleaning marks, as the large front group on a fast 35mm is prone to coating wear. Check the aperture blades for oil migration, confirm the focus ring turns smoothly without stiffness or grease drag, and look for any sign of element separation around the cemented groups. Confirm the AIs aperture coupling ridge and meter-coupling prong are intact so the lens indexes correctly on both older and newer Nikon bodies.

Questions

Will it work on a modern Nikon DSLR?

Yes, the F-mount AIs coupling fits Nikon SLR and DSLR bodies that accept manual-focus F-mount lenses, though metering support varies by body.

Is the price premium over slower 35mm Nikkors justified?

The f/1.4 maximum aperture is the main reason buyers pay more than for slower 35mm Nikkors; if you do not need the extra stop, cheaper f/2 and f/2.8 options exist in the same mount.
