Overall it's a very balanced lens, but not the best option for shooters looking for near-perfect reproductive photography like landscapes or astrophotography. The Nikon 40mm f2 is a fantastic addition to the current lineup of the Z lenses. While the Nikon 35mm f1.8 S all around performs better, none of the S lenses come close to
This 16-35mm is the sharpest and best-handling Nikon ultrawide zoom ever made for DSLRs and 35mm SLRs. f you shoot FX, or 35mm on a modern camera, get one of these 16-35mm lenses today. It's my favorite Nikon ultrawide. It's slightly sharper than the 14-24mm, adds VR, uses normal filters and is smaller, lighter and less expensive.
NIKON D800E + 85mm f/1.4 @ 85mm, ISO 400, 1/640, f/2.0. In fact, there is hardly a better lens for classic portraits than an 85mm f/1.4 (and, perhaps, a 135mm f/2 lens). Such lenses tend to have a very natural, smooth rendition with a flattering compression for any subject.The 35mm has a metal lens mount. Many lenses have plastic lens mounts which can easily break, but metal mounts will last you a long time. It is affordable. The overall span of lens prices is $100 to over $2000. Most lenses will be over $300, and this lens is around the $200 mark. It is great for low-light shooting.
The Nikon 35mm f/1.4 has a very wide aperture indeed, but it outpaced our expectations in this regard with only minor issues from f/1.4 to f/2.8. CA all but disappears between f/4 and f/16, where it suddenly reappears. But even at its worst, the 35mm f/1.4G's CA is minor and easily correctable in post-production. . 249 195 168 390 644 38 525 80
