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) ![]()

Perhaps we will see it become available roughly around the time of the Z10’s US release as well? I hope so, but at least we know they’re both confirmed coming. Hopefully we don’t have to wait too much longer for it. My guess (take it for what it’s worth) is that with the US release of the Z10 coming up soon (mid-late March), the Kobo app will be released at or around the time-frame when the Z10 will be made available in the US (this also seems to be the time-frame WhatsApp is looking at, with a March native client debut confirmed) release.

Detailed travel history and date of onset of symptoms - This information should be included on the laboratory requisition, as it helps the diagnostic laboratory apply the most appropriate test platform.The following information is required prior to testing: Testing, however, should be limited to those with objective signs of infection Footnote 10 Footnote 11. Typically, diagnostic testing is appropriate for people with a history of tick exposure and symptoms of disseminated Lyme disease infection, since test sensitivity improves as the bacteria affect tissue systems other than the skin Footnote 8 Footnote 9. A presumptive diagnosis can be made on the basis of the clinical presentation and a credible history of exposure to infected blacklegged ticks Footnote 8. Results Considerations prior to testingĮarly localized Lyme disease does not require diagnostic testing before antibiotic therapy is started. We also outlined future research plans to be undertaken by the Agency's National Microbiology Laboratory. ![]() We then summarized the key parameters to consider before Lyme disease testing is conducted, described the current best practice of a two-tiered serological algorithm for the laboratory confirmation of disseminated Lyme disease and explored the advantages and disadvantages of the supplemental tests. MethodsĪn extensive review of peer-reviewed literature was carried out. The objective of this article is to describe the current diagnostic tests for Lyme disease, including a review of the recommended approaches to laboratory testing, and identify future research priorities for Lyme disease diagnostics in Canada. Lyme disease has been a nationally notifiable disease since 2009 Footnote 7. There has been a steady increase in the incidence of Lyme disease in parts of central and eastern Canada Footnote 3 Footnote 4 Footnote 5 due to the recent range expansion of the primary tick vector, Ixodes scapularis Footnote 6. The symptoms of Lyme disease occur in stages and involve a variety of tissues and organs, including the skin, joints, heart and nervous system Footnote 2. garinii (primarily in Europe, Russia and northern Asia) Footnote 1. afzelii (in Western Europe, central Europe and Russia) and B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (in North America and Western Europe), B. Lyme disease (LD) is a tick-borne infection caused primarily by three species of spirochetes in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genogroup: B. The Public Health Agency of Canada (the Agency) will seek to improve on this approach through standardization of the Lyme disease diagnostics used across laboratories in Canada, evaluation of test performance characteristics of current and new diagnostic platforms and development of a process to secure robust serum panels to assist in the development and evaluation of new diagnostic tests for Lyme disease. A number of other diagnostic tests are available however, these are largely for research purposes.Ĭonclusion: Two-tiered serology is currently the best approach available to assist doctors when they are making a diagnosis of disseminated Lyme disease. To maximize sensitivity and specificity, a two-tiered serological approach is recommended, consisting of an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) screening test followed by confirmation with Western blot (WB) testing. Results: Diagnostic testing is indicated in people who have symptoms of disseminated disease and a history of exposure to vector ticks. We then summarized parameters to consider before Lyme disease testing is conducted, described the current best practice to use a two-tiered diagnostic algorithm for the laboratory confirmation of disseminated Lyme disease, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the supplemental tests for Lyme disease. Methods: A review of the literature was carried out. ![]() Objective: To describe the current diagnostic tests for Lyme disease, review the recommended approach to laboratory testing for Lyme disease and identify future research priorities for Lyme disease laboratory diagnostics in Canada.
