- It costs $ 2,799 / £ 2,899 / au $ 4,899 and sales begin on February 27
Nikon has finally presented the Nikkor Z 35mm F/1.2 S, a professional primary lens of moderate angle and a resident of the Z-Mount lens wool for a long time. It joins two other cousins f/1.2 as the width of the three, designed for the storytelling, the others being the Z 50 mm f/1.2 Sy z 85 mm f/1.2 s cousins.
I am a great admirer of the 35 mm focal distance, after having used it almost exclusively for approximately three years in East Africa. It is a versatile focal distance to include the environment in its images as part of the story. Naturally, this professional optics has caught my attention: it is a dream lens in almost In every way. What is less dreamer and more sweat induce is its initial price, in addition to its size and weight: this is a great lens in all those greetings.
Yours for an amazing $ 2,799 / £ 2,899 / au $ 4,899, the Z 35 mm f / 1.2 weighs a powerful 2 lbs 5.4Oz / 1,060 g too, so it is not the lens without a journey. However, what seems to be is an optically perfect cousin, with a particularly complex optical construction, an opening of 11 blades for the dreamy, soft and round bokeh, it is also a bit of robust equipment built to support hard ground.
Do not be mistaken, this is an adequate lens that will erase the floor optically with the recent Nikkor Z 35mm F/1.4 of Nikon and will be classified as one of the best Nikon Z lenses.

Great in every way
Nikon now has three 35 mm z-monte prime glasses for its mirrorless cameras. The first was the Z 35 mm f/1.8, the second of the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4 affordable that costs only $ 599/£ 649/au $ 1,099, and now the professional Z 35mm f/1.2 S. part of a Trinity Pro F/ 1.2 Prims, the last 35 mm lens has to be more than just its brilliant opening f/ 1.2; Honestly, there is not enough difference based only on the opening to disburse the money almost 5 times.
My Nikon Z 35mm f/1.4 review says that it is not the best in Nikon, but I hope that the new 35 mm f/1.2 s is a completely different artist, with an abyss in quality. Those willing to load the f/1.2 lens will be rewarded with what seems to be perfect optics; Its opening of 11 blades will give a next -level bokeh quality, while its optical construction of 17 elements in 15 groups should guarantee a clear detail anywhere in its shot, free of distortions. That is a surprisingly complex lens construction for a main lens.
Its minimum approach distance is 0.99 feet / 0.3m, allowing a maximum increase of 0.2x, which is close enough for everyday details without being a foreground lens.
As for the size, the Z 35 mm f/1.2 S will adequately adjust with the best professional Nikon cameras: the Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z9, but will feel like a mismatch of size with the Nikon Z6 III smaller. This is a professional lens from beginning to end, and if money is not object, the Z 35 mm f/1.2 s seems a true winner.
