Nikon has announced a new lens recently: the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4 autofocus lens. It is rather a wide-angle lens to be used with Nikon Z mount cameras. It allows you to shoot close pictures from 0.27 meters and lets much light in, f/1.4. It is a distinguished feature of this lens from other zoom lenses, which usually have a variable focal length. An f/1.4 aperture lets you blur the background in the photos and goes a long way in ensuring great results in low-light conditions of any kind.
Nikon makes special lenses—Nikkor Z lenses—for their Z series mirrorless cameras, conceivable to be replaced with different ones for various effects. These can be replaced with wide-angles for big scenes or telephoto lens versions to zoom in on far-away objects. In any case, you get razor-sharp pictures and super-smooth videos, even in 4K. These lenses are very quiet while focusing and are really great for video recordings or vlogs. If you already have Nikon lenses with an F-mount, these also work on your Z series camera with an extra adapter (sold separately).
The Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4 autofocus lens is compact at approximately 86.5mm in length and 415g in weight, making it nearly the same size as the Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S for easy carrying around for everyday shooting. This lens focuses entirely silently and almost instantaneously due to a specific stepping motor. In addition, this model is dust- and water-resistant in design for increased durability. On the front of the lens you’ll find a metal filter ring, which is nice and robust. Going inside it features 11 elements in nine groups, two of which are special aspherical lenses – the first time such a design has been used for any Nikon non-S series lenses.
