NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S | Premium large aperture 35mm prime lens for Z series mirrorless cameras | Nikon USA Model

Image quality is great. Also great for videography. Just know your subject and how much room you have when using it. Great quality. Well built. It's Nikon. Just buy it already

This is another great lens in the 1.8 S series. I have the 35,50 and 85 now and it's a must have if want to shoot affordable primes. Shipping was fast.

Sharp image. Lightweight to carry

I've been eyeing this lens for months and decided to buy it. I'm so HAPPY with this purchase! This is a very sharp lens with fast focus. Images are STUNNING! Perfect addition to my camera bag!

+ excellent image quality + very sharp, low distortion + fast and accurate AF - not the 'feel' of a 1.4, let alone a Leica lens... It's a quite big, but light and well built 35mm than can cope with the sensor res of the Z7. (My AF-S 35/1.4 only delivers around 28MP, hence doesn't do on the Z7). What I would have hoped for is a 1.4 version that would get closer to (but probably never reach) my Leica Summilux 35. Overall, more versatile than the 50mm (which is also awesome).

My brand new Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S | Premium Large Aperture 35mm Prime Lens for Z Series mirrorless cameras works great in manual mode and does not perform as well as I expected it to in Auto. I'm using it with my Z9 and I do almost exclusively static photography and am happy with it. It is A Nikon, so it is well built and of course A bit expensive. Still all and all, I do recommend its purchase as needed.

Excelente lente

This is one great lens. I shoot family portraits and weddings for a living. I can use this on the Family portraits on my Nikon Z6 and it is a very sharp lens with good contrast and fast focus. I use a 85mm Z on my second Z6 on portraits for a two camera setup. The 35mm for the group photos and the 85mm for the single and two people photos.

make no mistake, this is professional glass through and through TL;DR: Pros: - sharpness and resolution are sensational - smooth non-distracting bokeh - micro-contrast is pro-level - color rendering is superb - light and compact - fast focus - solid build Cons: - max magnification is not inspiring (this is no macro lens) - no controls on the lens except for AF/MF switch. no control ring, no lens buttons, no aperture - no built-in VR - plain design looks cheap at first when Nikon released this, I thought it was just a placeholder lens, to make sure Z system early adopters had something to shoot with. it just looks like a simple cheap lens, one of the reasons I wasn't attracted to it at first but now while I got tired waiting for a faster 35mm option and got this to play with, I am absolutely stunned by the image quality delivered, and see no reason to wait for a faster (and no doubt heavier and pricier) option. portraits look stunning at F/2, sharpness is hair-splitting corner to corner, resolution this lens delivers is superb, crop any way you like. micro-contrast is second to none, and colors are sensational if 35mm is your FOV, look no further for Z system. this lens also makes 50mm 1.8 S redundant. just shoot 35mm and crop, resolution is there, especially if you shoot Z7. even on Z6 I can crop like there was no tomorrow and get stunning photos all in all, highly recommended.

Ich nutze das Nikon NIKKOR Z 35 mm 1:1,8 S an meiner Nikon Z6 und bin wirklich begeistert, wie viel Spaß dieses Objektiv beim Fotografieren macht. Die Bilder wirken unglaublich klar und scharf, selbst bei Offenblende, und die Farben kommen sehr natürlich rüber. Besonders das Bokeh gefällt mir richtig gut – weich, ruhig und einfach schön anzusehen, ohne dass irgendetwas unruhig wirkt. Was mir sofort aufgefallen ist: Das Objektiv liefert über das ganze Bildfeld hinweg eine sehr gleichmäßige Schärfe. Auch die Ränder sehen richtig gut aus, was ich bei f/1.8 nicht unbedingt erwartet hätte. Gegenlicht meistert es erstaunlich sauber, und Reflexionen oder Farbsäume habe ich bisher kaum gesehen. Das macht die Bilder insgesamt sehr stimmig und hochwertig. Der Autofokus arbeitet schnell und leise, was ich sowohl beim Fotografieren als auch beim Filmen angenehm finde. Außerdem bleibt der Bildausschnitt beim Fokussieren stabil, was besonders praktisch ist, wenn man kleine Bewegungen im Motiv hat oder Videos aufnimmt. Das Objektiv fühlt sich insgesamt sehr wertig an, liegt gut in der Hand und ist wettergeschützt – perfekt für spontane Ausflüge oder Shootings draußen. Für mich als Hobbyfotograf ist das 35‑mm‑Format ideal: nah genug für Details, weit genug für Alltagsszenen, Street‑Fotografie oder Familienmomente. Ich habe das Objektiv inzwischen fast ständig an der Kamera, weil es einfach in so vielen Situationen funktioniert und die Ergebnisse jedes Mal überzeugen. Unterm Strich ist das NIKKOR Z 35 mm 1:1,8 S für mich eines der Objektive, die man einmal kauft und dann kaum noch abnimmt. Die Kombination aus Bildqualität, Lichtstärke, Verarbeitung und Vielseitigkeit passt für meine Art zu fotografieren einfach perfekt.

I will say up front, I don't normally shoot primes. But I decided to invest in some for my Z6 as the kit lens at f4 limited some shots I wanted. Right out of the box it looks and feels like all the other S lenses. Not too heavy, quality construction, everything you could hope for. But it's the image quality that stunned me. For 15+ years I've carried a Nikon DSLR and a zoom lens, for many years a 24-70/2.8 lens. I've always bought primes but never used them much at all. These S lens are different, I've pretty much completely switched to using primes! The sharpness, speed, and quietness are talked about a lot. Obviously all stellar but there is a very difficult to describe image feel to the S primes. Yup they're 'only' f1.8 lenses, but having used 1.4 f mount lenses I'm not missing anything at all. You can shoot these S primes wide open at 1.8 all day and the quality is stunning. I recently traded in my 24-70/4s kit lens for the f2.8s version. But I'm still finding I prefer to shoot with the prime lenses. The 35mm being one of the 3 I pretty much carry everywhere now. If you have a Z6/7 get yourself some of the primes, they're definitely worth it.

This lens is sharp for photo but for video this lens is terrible, autofocus motor is too noisy, heavy focus breathing, focus sometime struggles.

Objetivo sin grandes pretensiones que encaja a la perfección con ese tipo de fotografía que necesita luz, rapidez en el enfoque e incluso un bokeh bonito. Se queda soldado a la cámara para siempre.
