Nikon Z 35mm f/1.4 Review - Perfectly Flawed

In this video, I’m sharing my honest, real-world review of this beautiful prime lens after months of traveling and shooting with it on the full-frame Z-mount system. Nikon designed this lens to offer a bright f/1.4 aperture at an unbeatable $600 price point, intentionally competing with 3rd-party brands. But to get the price down, certain trade-offs had to be made. 📸 Gear used in this video: Camera Body: Nikon Z8 Lens Reviewed: NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 Instagram:   / rotloch   00:00 Intro 00:39 Why I Bought This Lens 01:32 Nikon’s Strategy With This Glass 02:46 Build Quality & Ergonomics 05:38 Why the Internet is Wrong About This Lens 09:53 Addressing The Most Common Complaints 14:53 The Vignetting Dilemma 18:02 Nikon 35mm Real-World Image Samples 18:50 Final Verdict #NikonZ #Nikon35mm #LensReview #Photography #NikonZ8 #StreetPhotography #TravelPhotography
