Here is what the site says about that.
From Nikon Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7: Nikon Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7: A prime lens by Nikon for APS-C cameras, 35mm f/1.7. A small DX standard prime that also focuses close, to 0.67x. Specs - Maker: Nikon - Focal length: 35mm (prime) - Maximum aperture: f/1.7 - Made for: APS-C sensors - Mounts: Nikon Z - Stabilised: no - Autofocus: yes What it frames like - On APS-C (Nikon Z): like 52mm on full frame; f/1.7 gives about the depth of field ...
From Sensor sizes: Is full frame worth it?: For low light, events, and portraits with very shallow depth of field, yes. For travel, street, wildlife on a budget, and most hobby photography, a good APS-C camera with good lenses is enough, and you'll carry it more. Lenses and light matter more than the last stop of sensor performance.
