f/16: Some more decrease in sharpness everywhere and now it seems that we have the most even sharpness across the whole frame at a very good level but weaker than f/8 and f/11.f/11: Center sharpness gets a small hit, although still excellent, mid-frame and corners have also got a small hit from the diffraction effect.f/8: Center more or less the same, midframe and corners are now even better than before.f/5.6: The center and midframe have perfect sharpness, and now even corners reach excellent sharpness.f/4: The Center is still perfect, the Midframe almost as good and the corners very good but still there is a visible difference between the center’s perfect sharpness and the corner’s.f/2.8: Perfect sharpness in the center, like the best you can get from the very best lenses ever can deliver, The mid-frame is excellent and now the corner is very good.f/2.8: Most of the LoCA seems to be gone and sharpness and contrast have raised to excellent in the center and midframe, corners are good but still weaker.The corners start a bit weaker here, but they are good. f/1.8: Center and mid-frame sharpness is very good but partially due to the LoCA it cannot reach the excellent sharpness we would expect from a Nikkor S lens.Nikon Z7II | Nikon Nikkor Z 35/1.8 S | f/5.6 Infinity (Nikon Z7II) Nikon Z7ii | Nikon Nikkor Z 35/1.8 S | Infinity Sharpness Let’s look at the three points marked in the following image to see how the sharpness in the center, mid-frame, and corner of the image is. Let’s see how it is in real-life tests! Sharpness Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S Optical Features Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 Z MTF ChartĪs we saw in the review of the Nikon Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 S, this Z 35mm f/1.8 S also presents an impressive MTF chart, maybe not as impressive but not at all far from it. The lens is weather sealed and the front element has a fluorine coating for repelling moisture and dust. This lens, like all the other Z series lenses, uses a focus-by-wire stepping motor, autofocus is reliable, precise and quick. There is also an MF-AF switch on the barrel. It can be programmed to be either a focusing ring, aperture ring, exposure compensation, or ISO sensitivity ring. The manual focus ring is wide and nicely damped. The included lens hood is made of plastic but feels robust and clicks securely onto the lens front. All the Z lenses in the “S” series are relatively large, but this is the smallest and lightest Nikon Z “S” lens, as it is “only” 86 mm long and 370 g heavy. It is mostly made of plastic but the mounting plate and focusing ring are made of metal. Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S both seems and feels to be built very well. VariationsĪs the first and only Z mount 35mm lens from Nikon, there are no variations of this lens up to date. I bought this lens with my own earned money. 11 elements in 9 groups (including 2 ED glass and 3 aspherical lens elements, and elements with Nano Crystal Coat)
