There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The lens requires 67mm size filters...a ubiquitous enough size to find pretty much any type of filter you need (i.e. polarizer, ND filter, etc...). I have used multiple polarizers and ND filters, and the lens worked seamlessly with them. I've also used the Lee filter system with this lens, and it also worked to perfection.
Auto focus is, as expected, fast and quiet. Even in low light, focus was very accurate...almost surprisingly so.
The clarity and color distribution is fantastic. The only other 35mm lenses I've used often are the Zeiss f/2 and f/1.4 versions, and I much prefer the Nikon 35mm 1.4 because of how crisply it handles bright contrasts...especially horizons along a sunrise or sunset. Shooting this lens wide open will truly "pop" the subject out from a background of creamy bokeh. To sum it all up, It's the best lens I've ever used in the 35-50mm focal range.
The lens is nicely balanced, perfect for photojournalism or as a "walk-around" lens while hiking or traveling. Although not a light lens by any means, it's not so front-heavy as to cause any balance issues on a tripod.
I'd recommend this lens to anyone who wants a fantastically clear and crisp, fast lens.
77 mm filter size, fringing. You should put a filter on it to protect it and only change it when needed. It focuses more slower
than other lenses because it is 1.4 and needs to so it can get more in focus shots. I only see it being slow going from close
focus to infinity, it's not like your going to be hoping all over the place. Otherwise pretty quick to focus and lock for a 1.4 aperture.
I think if Nikon thought it was better to use 77mm glass they would have done so, maybe it created more ca's in that configuration.
Speaking of which I think is very minimal, any glass I have will do this if the light is bent or refracted in some way. The biggest thing
worth mentioning is the price, but if you want pro like photos your going to need to spend more for the gear. I wouldn't be concerned with it's short comings but just use it as best it can be used. Finally, it takes great photos with exceptional bokeh. Not too wide not to long, tiny bit slow, about a 1/3 stop less than a 77mm would have been. On a last note for all those in limbo on whether
to get the 24mm 1.4 g versus this lens, all I can say is 24 is too wide for me and if I put my fx in dx mode I'll have a 52mm end of story.
But...after a few years of learning, I took stock of my camera gear. D3, D800, 70-200mm 2.8 VR. And other stuff. See below.
I recently decided to go quality, and forsake quantity. And to get lean, mean and efficient. No focal lengths duplicated, no consumer lenses...just a few pieces of glass...but the greats. So I...
Sold the 50mm 1.4G, 24mm 2.8G and the new Nikon 28-300mm. All to pay for the Nikon 35mm 1.4G.
Yes. Three for one. But I am totally stoked.
This lens is gorgeous. Produces amazing photographs. The D800 was begging for this lens.
You will never regret going for the good glass. It is - after all - what the light goes through.
Top reviews from other countries
The quality of the images from this lens are outstanding! They're tack sharp and nice and contrasty!
The lens is perfectly weighted and fits comfortably in the hand. It's just the right size that you can be discrete when using it, unlike say the Nikon 24-70.
The only negative, and it's a small one, is that the filter size is 67mm rather than the 77mm you'd expect for a professional lens.
Das 35er ist aufgrund des Bildwinkels in Verbindung mit der hohen Anfangsöffnung ein Klassiker.
Der AF-S ist leise, aber nicht so schnell wie z.B. beim 24-70 oder 70-200. Etwa auf Niveau 85/1.4 oder leicht besser.
Die optische Leistung ist hervorragend.
+ Hervorragende optische Leistung
+ bereits bei Blende 1.4 voll nutzbar
+ schöne Unschärfeverzeichnung
+ relativ leicht, gute Magnesiumfassung
- sehr teuer
