NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S

Using this lens is fun, I am happy with my decision to buy it.The Z 35/1.8 partners like an old friend with my Nikon Zf. I like the feel of it and I like the way it handles. It is solid to the touch, light weight, and moderate in size. The latter two characteristics make it routinely easy to handhold shots down to 1/15 sec. Its semi wide angle FOV, close minimum focusing distance, and its wonderful acuity make it flexible. With only a minor shift of camera position it allows you to frame either a lot of background or only a single object. This lens has optics that hone the image to noteworthy acuity. The 35/1.8 delivers pleasing contrast to enhance the outstanding color science embodied in Nikon cameras. If you want to have fun while making photos you will be happy with, give the 35/1.8 a go. As a photographer with 71 years of experience I recommend it without reservation.

Great lens

The best all round focal length for general photography.
Super sharp, fast, light weight and handy for travel

This lens is a very good lens overall. However, it's not in the same league as the 50mm 1.8s which costs $200 Canadian less. The sharpness and rendering of the 50 and 85 both exceed this 35 by a noticeable margin. If this lens was priced at the same as the 50mm, I'd give it 5 stars. But being the highest priced of the 35, 50, and 85, it's clearly the worst performer of the 3.

I´ve been shooting with this lens for about 3 months now and I love it. Using this lens on my Z7 has made me fall in love with the 35mm perspective all over again. Its sharp, compact and great in low light for everything from landscapes to newborn shoots, but also quiet enough (for me) to use for video as I begin experimenting in that as well. A tad pricey in my honest opinion (that´s why it gets 4 stars from me), but the quality is there to justify it. It´s a lens that I look forward to using for years to come on my Z7.

This is the best 85mm Nikkor lens I´ve had. This is on my top 2 favorite portrait lenses with the 120mm f1.4g. I highly recommend it!

I simply love the Nikkor Z 85mm. It is so far my favorite lens.

This is, without a doubt, the sharpest 35mm lens I´ve ever owned! I used to own the F-mount 35mm f/1,4G Nikkor lens that I used together with my D850, but as I slowly migrate to Mirrorless, and the Z7, I´ve been replacing all of my F-mount lenses. This new 35mm f/1.8S lens produces sharp images edge-to-edge even wide open, and it focuses incredibly fast and so quietly.

An excellent lens for most of the settings it was designed to help capture. It´s light weight is deceiving as it is well constructed. I would have preferred a f/1.2, but not the inherent price increase.
