Our editorial take on the Yongnuo YN35mm F2Z DF DSM

The Yongnuo YN35mm F2Z DF DSM is a budget-friendly 35mm prime lens designed for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. At $135, it positions itself as an accessible alternative to Nikon's own Z-mount primes, which typically cost several times more. Yongnuo has built a reputation for delivering affordable glass to photographers working on tight budgets, and this lens continues that tradition with a fast f/2 maximum aperture and DSM (digital stepping motor) autofocus.

The 35mm focal length is versatile for street photography, environmental portraits, and general walkaround shooting, making it a practical choice for Z-mount users looking to expand their kit without a major investment. The f/2 aperture offers decent low-light capability and background separation, though it won't match the depth-of-field control or light-gathering ability of faster f/1.4 or f/1.8 lenses. As a third-party option at this price point, it fills a niche for creators who prioritize affordability and basic functionality over premium build quality or optical perfection.

Best for: Nikon Z-mount shooters on a strict budget who need an affordable 35mm prime for everyday photography.
What's great
  • Very affordable at $135 for a fast prime lens
  • F/2 aperture provides good low-light performance and background blur
  • Versatile 35mm focal length suitable for street, portraits, and everyday shooting
