Title: Must have for the bag
Review: This is just a must have for any Nikon setup. The 35mm perspective is just perfect and the clinical sharpness is uncanny. This stays attached to my Z8 and only gets swapped out when I need some reach, otherwise I attempt to make it work in as many situations as possible. Shooting mainly people pics and street photography here.

Title: Best Lens…Even better that the 85mm 1.2
Review: The Nikon 85mm 1.8 is a great lens…especially for the price. It was much better to get this lens than the 85mm 1.2 that cost over 3 times the price. I have all the 1.8 S line lens for the Z mounts.

Title: A fantastic 35mm lens
Review: 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.

Title: Mostly Does The Job Expected Of It
Review: 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.

Title: Extremely sharp, fast, hi-res lens for Z7
Review: + 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).

Title: Beautiful Lens
Review: This is my first 35mm focal length prime. I find this lens very versatile and fun to use. The focus is snappy and the colors and contrast are wonderful. The size is just fine for walking around for long periods of time with it. It even fits in my jacket pocket while on the camera. I got it during the holiday specials so it was lower cost than usual.

Review: No suelo escribir reseñas técnicas porque para eso ya están los que se saben los números de memoria. Yo hablo desde la piel, desde lo que me hace sentir un objetivo cuando lo tengo en la mano y me meto en una historia. Y este 35mm 1.8… madre mía, este objetivo me ha salvado la vida más veces que el WiFi de un Starbucks.Ligero como un pensamiento bonito y rápido como un “sí quiero”, es ese tipo de cristal que no te pide permiso para entrar en la escena: simplemente se mete, se hace amigo de la luz y te regala imágenes que no necesitan efectos especiales.¿Nitidez? La justa y necesaria. Que no soy cirujano, soy fotógrafo de emociones. Y este bicho enfoca bien, enfoca rápido, y cuando lo abres al 1.8 te da ese desenfoque bonito que te deja el corazón blando y las pestañas desenfocadas.¿Lo mejor? Que es honesto. No intenta impresionar con florituras. Es callejero, cercano, como una buena conversación a las 2 de la mañana.💬 ¿Lo recomiendo? Sí, sin piedad pero con ternura. Si estás empezando y quieres un fijo que te enseñe a ver mejor, este es tu compañero. Y si ya llevas rodaje, es como volver a casa. Te recuerda por qué empezaste.

Review: make no mistake, this is professional glass through and throughTL;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 buildCons:- 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 cheapat 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 firstbut 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 sensationalif 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 photosall in all, highly recommended.

Review: Es un excelente lente, mejora en todo aspecto a su equivalente en montura F, y sin duda le saca el máximo provecho a las Nikon Z por el autofoco, estabilización de imagen y anillo de función personalizada.Con eso dicho, si ya tienes un 35mm FX de 1.8 o 1.4 quizás debas evaluar a profundidad si sus ventajas justifican el precio, ya que sin duda no es barato, quizás con el adaptador FTZ sea suficiente, ya que los lentes F también funcionan perfecto con las Nikon Z.
