Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S Lens - Brand New review

What a dilemma. Discounting the price, this is an amazing lens that reaches the very highest level of quality. However, there are many lenses not that far behind, almost as fast, even at f/1.4 where the choice widens considerably. These are a fraction of the price of the Nikkor Z.

Nikon’s full-frame Z-series f/1.8 primes are very impressive as a group and the Nikkor Z 35mm F1.8 S, which was the first to be introduced, makes a great addition to your kit bag.

Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens

Fitted to the Z7 camera body, this lens is great for street photography, being fast, weather-resistant and providing wide enough coverage to encompass some of the subjects’ environment while enabling the photographer to get reasonably close to subjects.

Using the Nikon Z 7 with the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens is a great experience. It’s well balanced in its body design, and it’s good to see that it shares the same level of weatherproofing as the Z 7 body.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm F1.8S Lens JMA102DA review

The Nikon Z 35mm F1.8 S is a solid medium-wideangle lens for the Z series, which offers excellent sharpness and pleasant handling characteristics on the Z6 and Z7. Low light fans might miss a wider aperture, and optically, the 35mm cannot compete with its (cheaper) cousin the Z 50mm f1.8 S, but for...

Nikon Z 35mm F1.8 S Review

The Nikon Z 35mm F1.8 S is a solid medium-wideangle lens for the Z series, which offers excellent sharpness and pleasant handling characteristics on the Z6 and Z7. Low light fans might miss a wider aperture, and optically, the 35mm cannot compete with its (cheaper) cousin the Z 50mm f1.8 S, but for Nikon Z shooters that need wide-aperture sharpness, the Z 35mm F1.8 S is definitely worth looking at.

The Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S is a sharp, light prime lens for Nikon Z cameras that's built well and delivers excellent images, but is on the pricey side.

Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S Review

The Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S is a sharp, light prime lens for Nikon Z cameras that's built well and delivers excellent images, but is on the pricey side. Nikon recently launched its first full-frame mirrorless camera, and with it a handful of native lenses. The Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S ($849.95) is the first prime lens to ship—there's a 50mm f/1.8 coming next month. If you're a fan of the 35mm angle of view, be happy to know it's a good one. It captures crisp images, sports a bright aperture for a shallow depth of field and low-light photography, and is sealed to prevent dust and moisture from getting inside your camera. It's an excellent lens, albeit one with an asking price on the high side, and a good fit for Z buyers who want a 35mm prime. Light and Bright The Nikkor Z 35mm shares its outward look with the other Z lens available at launch, the Z 24-70mm f/4 S. It's an almost plain black lens, with a mix of metal and polycarbonate construction. Markings are in understated white text, a departure from the metallic gold Nikon uses for its modern SLR lenses. The only bit of flash is a glossy Nikkor S logo on the side of the barrel. T...

Nikon Z 35mm f1.8S review

The Nikon Z 35mm f1.8S is a good mild wide angle prime for owners of Z-series mirrorless bodies: Resolution and contrast is as good as or even better than from the Zeiss 28mm f1.4 Otus - which is no small feat.
