Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S lens

Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.2 S lens

The Nikon Z 35mm F1.2 is Nikon's fastest lens at this focal length, and now mirrorless photographers have three options. The first 35mm F1.8 is a basic version with great image quality, and the F1.4 version is a fast option with a more classic look.

The Nikon 35mm F1.2 is another top-of-the-line lens intended for professional use. It's a bit larger in size and weight, but if a versatile, slightly wide-angle lens is one of your favorite focal lengths, this new lens will reward the photographer.

This 35mm F1.2 S is best suited for professional use, such as wedding and event photography, as well as videography.

Beautiful drawing & accuracy

The drawing is more than just the resolution of the raw test charts, meaning that objects outside the depth of field are drawn beautifully and softly. And yes, the resolution is also okay! The Nikon 35mm F1.2 offers very good reproduction at different distances and also at the edges of the image field. You can make the aperture selection without conditions of expression and image, for the sake of sharpness this optic does not need to be dimmed.

Image errors are minimized and the lens can handle various special situations such as backlighting without any worries. In practice, the Meso Amorphous coating, which is more effective than Nikon's traditional Nano Crystal Coat, is used in addition to this, an Arneo coating is used. Several coatings work well together as they eliminate reflections coming from different directions.

This means that you can shoot directly into backlight when the light source is in the image area and the light is at its most beautiful. For example, when the evening gets dark during a wedding party, you get the feel of the light but the reflections don't draw the main attention in the image.

The lens has a total of 11 diaphragm blades, meaning that by dimming the lens to an aperture of F16, for example, you can get a nice sunstar effect for light sources such as the sun or lights.

Autofocus is handled accurately and quickly by two STM focus motors, taking into account the size of the lens elements. Focusing is handled internally, meaning the lens size does not change during use. Autofocus is also very agile, making the lens also great for video shooting and fast-paced action photography.

The focus ring is large and very tactile, making it suitable for precise work. The lens also has an OLED display that shows focus distance, aperture and depth of field. The control ring allows you to adjust exposure, for example, and there is also a programmable Fn button on the side of the lens.

The lens is weather and dust-protected in several places, and the outer lens element is coated with a fluoride coating that repels dirt and makes cleaning easier.
