PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
The upgrade of this popular Nikkor zoom occurred in 1981. Other than employing a similar optical construction in 10 elements in 9 groups, weighs lighter at 510g and has a smaller filter attachment size at 62mm instead of 72mm, which leads many users regard the next version with MACRO/close focus capability as an update but the new lense has an entirely different optical arrangement of lens composition as well as in its overall performance, in particularly with its close focus capability that excels the predecessor. Thus, I would rather refer this zoom lense as an new designed 35-70 zoom rather than just a update.
 
The built-in macrofocus capability which allows it to be focused down to 1.1 ft. (0.35m), at this range, the lense provides 1:4 reproduction at 70mm setting. A tiny button locates at the lens barrel allow locking in the macrofocus "M" setting. This version can easily be distinguished from the earlier version via a striking orange-colored engraved stripe to indicate the close-up range. Although both versions of the 35-70 employed a similar dual rings design and have same number of lens elements, but the macro version has a different displacement of the lens elements during the change between wide-angle and telephoto settings.
 
Obviously this lense was a fruit of the research by computer simulations, the movement of the zooming system was reduced by dividing the rear lens group into two separate subgroups, one which moves and one which doesn't. Further, macro photography is possible at the 70mm end at the short film to-subject distance of 35cm which permits more natural perspective than using 35mm setting. Despite embodies a more complex design, Nikon optical engineers still be able to retain a constant f/3.5 speed throughout the focal length range.
