We present a near-infrared (K, J-K) color magnitude diagram(CMD) for the central region of a metal poor globular cluster NGC 6535. Our near-infrared data are combined with published optical BV data to construct (K, V-K) CMD. A new metallicity estimate is made by applying the relation between metallicity and MKo as proposed by Frogel, Cohen and Persson(1983). Our value is [Fe/H] = -1.66+-0.06, which is slightly higher than other results previously reported.
