Nikkor Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 The nice thing is that it's small. This lens is for black and white night film photography, that's where it shines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Are you liking the 35mm 1.4 Ebrahim?Too lazy to use it yet. On first glance - great construction (it is a much higher built lens than my normal Nikon vintage AI-S glass as the price indicates) with a lovely ring. - Image looks great in lowlight photographs, a 35mm on s35 is so much more useful indoors than my 50mm that I got used to. -f/1.4 is good, but not great. Certainly Usable for HD especially after grading back contrast/sharpness, so great to have in lowlight. Straight off the card with in-camera LOG no sharpness/contrast it's a hazy softish aesthetic with very shallow focus, at f/2 it's as sharp as you'd want. I will use it properly to assess how it performs and get back to you. It's not worth the 1100$ price given the other available options now, but it's worth twice what I paid. It's a lovely fully manual fast prime with high end built and adapts to any mount, with the downside of soft-ish f/1.4. Pretty great.but at 1100$, not a chance in hell The world's highest performing 35mm with AF and L built is 1700$. No comparison. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1180801-REG/canon_9523b002_35mm_f_1_4l_ii_usm.htmlThe very fine Sigma ART is 900$ http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/898836-REG/Sigma_340306_35mm_f_1_4_DG_HSM.htmlMore like a 400-500$-ish lens of value compared to my other glass.
