Nikon’s full-frame Z-series f/1.8 primes are very impressive as a group and the Nikkor Z 35mm F1.8 S, which was the first to be introduced, makes a great addition to your kit bag.

Compact design, Superb image quality, Near silent operation in video

Expensive, but quality doesn't come cheap, Needs the correct embedded profiles to remove vignetting at wide apertures

What a dilemma. Discounting the price, this is an amazing lens that reaches the very highest level of quality. However, there are many lenses not that far behind, almost as fast, even at f/1.4 where the choice widens considerably. These are a fraction of the price of the Nikkor Z.

Outstanding sharpness, Virtually zero CA, Excellent flare resistance, Excellent handling, Quality manufacture, Custom functions for L-Fn button, Sublime handling of point light sources, Virtually no distortion, Beautiful bokeh effects

Huge price tag, Weight, Screw thread lens hood

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

The Nikon Z 35mm F1.8 S is a solid medium-wideangle lens for the Z series, which offers excellent sharpness and pleasant handling characteristics on the Z6 and Z7. Low light fans might miss a wider aperture, and optically, the 35mm cannot compete with its (cheaper) cousin the Z 50mm f1.8 S, but for...

Low-light or wide-aperture fans that need sharp images at fast apertures

Portrait fans who might be bothered by the colored fringing in out of focus areas; those requiring the absolute fastest autofocus; video shooters looking for linear focus response

Low light fans might miss a wider aperture, and optically, the 35mm cannot compete with its (cheaper) cousin the Z 50mm f1.8 S, but for Nikon Z shooters that need wide-aperture sharpness, the Z 35mm F1.8 S is definitely worth looking at.

The Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S is a sharp, light prime lens for Nikon Z cameras that's built well and delivers excellent images, but is on the pricey side.

Quite sharp; Bright aperture; Good close-focus ability; Light, compact design; All-weather build.

It captures crisp images, sports a bright aperture for a shallow depth of field and low-light photography, and is sealed to prevent dust and moisture from getting inside your camera. It's an excellent lens, albeit one with an asking price on the high side, and a good fit for Z buyers who want a 35mm prime.

It's an almost plain black lens, with a mix of metal and polycarbonate construction. Markings are in understated white text, a departure from the metallic gold Nikon uses for its modern SLR lenses.
