Pros: Very sufficient sharpness from full aperture, very high sharpness from f/2.8, reduced weight, Min. focus distance, overall product quality. The Bokey is very beautiful in certain situations. The distortion is very well corrected (on Z6 iii). No focus breathing (for videographers).
Cons: The price, it is obviously too expensive, that is its REAL flaw. Its light weight can sometimes be seen as a disadvantage*. Vignetting is present as well as moderate chromatic aberrations at full aperture.
Opinion: What a lot of reviews I've read (sometimes bad) about this lens! I bought it to go with a Z6 III, especially in video mode, but also for group photos at weddings. First of all, let's get the price out of the way. Yes, it's too expensive, especially since it's only f/1.8. I suppose that's because of its optical formula...
There are controversial opinions about its sharpness. It's criticized for being too sharp for portraits, and at the same time for being the least sharp lens in the Z f/1.8 series!
For group photos, between f/2.8 and f/4, it's very sharp on a 24MPix camera!
For a centered subject, from f/1.8 it's surgical in the center, and frankly not so bad on the edges.
Some find its Bokeh insignificant, others find it very beautiful. In reality, as with any lens, you have to be very attentive to the combination of "plane value - subject distance - background distance + spot metering while preserving highlights" to obtain something very pleasant.
For video, I consider that it does not present any Focus breathing, which is a great advantage if you frequently switch focal points.
Distortion is very well corrected by the Z6iii. At full aperture vignetting is present, as well as chromatic aberrations (not too much).
Its light weight will appeal to many people, not me because I like to feel something a little more balanced towards the front of the camera/lens combination. A matter of taste.
Faced with the less expensive alternative of the Nikon Z 35mm f/1.4, I arbitrated against the f/1.4, because of the Minimum focus distance, the questionable sharpness of the f/1.4 at full aperture, and also because the f/1.4 does not seem to be a real 35mm (maybe a 37mm?).
Maybe one day Nikon will grace us with a sublime 35mm f/1.2, in the meantime, the 35mm f/1.8 S does the job. Rating: 9. |
