7/19/2023 0 Comments Nikon 35mm 1.8![]() Optical image stabilisation is not a feature of this lens, but as the Z 7 and the Z 6 have in-body image stabilisation, that shouldn’t be too much of an issue. The focusing ring is click-free, which also means you can pull focus from one subject to another without any distracting noise. With autofocusing switched on, focusing is extremely quick and quiet, making it a good lens to use when shooting video. There are also no indicators on the lens itself to help you judge distances, but it stands a good chance that the vast majority of people using this lens will be doing so with autofocus. If you don’t want to use the focusing ring for manual focus, you can also set it to control other functions on the camera body, such as ISO or exposure compensation. There are no hard stops on either end of the focusing ring though to help you know when you have achieved infinity focus. There’s just enough to give to make precise focusing possible, while not feeling too stiff or too loose. It’s ridged to help you get a good grip on it. The manual-focusing ring around its middle takes up the main bulk of the lens. It’s possible to use the Z 7 with the 35mm lens with just one hand, but you’ll probably find it more comfortable to use a second hand for a better handling balance. Overall, the size and weight matches very nicely with the Nikon Z 7 (and indeed the Z 6 as they are both the same size and design). It weighs just slightly more than the AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G ED lens which you might use with a Nikon DSLR.īuild quality of the Nikon Z 35mm f/1.8 S is excellent, with a sturdy and high-quality feel, plus a metal lens mount. Weighing in at 370g, it’s also a relatively light weight for a lens which such a wide maximum aperture. It’s fairly large for a mirrorless prime lens, but that is necessitated by the fact that the lens has a much wider aperture than the 24-70mm lens. Nikon has stuck with a very simple design for the Nikon Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens. As this is a prime lens, there’s no zoom mechanism, and there’s no need to extend it before use either. The new lenses in Nikon’s range have been designed to all be the same size, so the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens is the same shape and size as the also new 24-70mm f/4 lens when the latter is collapsed. At the time of writing, the Nikon Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens retails for around £849 / $849. It is a prime lens offering the classic 35mm focal length, which equates to around 52.5mm if you use the lens in the DX crop mode.Īn internal focusing mechanism is included, and like the Z 7 it is weatherproof. ![]() ![]() It features 11 elements in 9 groups, to include 2 ED elements, 3 aspherical elements and elements with Nano Crystal Coating. A 50mm f/1.8 lens will also be joining the series in the very near-future.ĭesignated with the “S” moniker, it’s thought that other series of lenses will be created for the Nikon Z range, but the S series is designed for ultimate sharpness. The Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 lens is one of two lenses available to buy for the Nikon Z series cameras from launch – the other being the Nikkor 24-70mm f/4 S lens.
