I have previously reviewed the small three-element Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens of the Z-mount system. The workmanship and picture quality are quite good, especially the volume and weight are satisfactory, even if it is used for a long time, it will not feel uncomfortable. This is a Z-mount system with one fixed-focus lens Z 35mm f/1.8 S large aperture fixed-focus lens, which continues the small three-dimensional slender body design and ultra-light weight, sweeping the street essential artifact! Give everyone a detailed evaluation link.

One, ultra-light weight, representative of burden reduction

The birth of a micro-camera is nothing more than solving the weight and volume. If the lens is still a bulky lens like a SLR, it won't work. But the difficulty of making a small lens is that the compromise on the lens group will lead to a deterioration in image quality. This is an inevitable phenomenon.

This Nikonicel Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens is still a low-key and simple style in design. The simple lens typeface, the S-Line nameplate under the focus mode switch lever, maybe this is the S-Line Iconic style.

The mirror of the Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S has not changed much. The Nikon Z7 is a perfect combination of natural. The large focus ring is designed with a dense tooth and feels silky. It also compensates for the focus when switching between far and near views. Respiratory effect, there is no problem of changing the angle of view when focusing, and the internal focus design can also reduce various operating sounds such as AF drive, aperture drive, control ring rotation.

Here to say, this focus ring is actually a multi-function control loop, you can set the control loop through the camera's menu, the set control loop can be achieved for focus (M / A), or aperture or exposure compensation A function to adjust. When the manual focus mode is selected, it can also be used as a focus ring, which is one of the black technologies of the S-Line lens.

The lens has a filter size of 62mm. It can be installed with Nikon's latest 'Lighting' protection filter, which not only protects the lens from sand and sand, but also restores the excellent optical performance of the original lens.

In terms of optical structure, 9 sets of 11-piece lens sets are used, including 2 low-dispersion ED lenses, 3 aspherical lenses and lenses with nano-crystalline coatings. The excellent optical structure has good dot image reproduction performance, not only Reduces axial chromatic aberration and achieves higher resolution, providing sharp detail in the entire picture. Maximum aperture is f/1.8, minimum aperture is f/16, and large aperture can reduce ISO sensitivity in low light conditions Degrees and increased shutter speed for clear, high-quality photos.

With 9 circular aperture design, it can achieve a more rounded spot outside the focus, and the electromagnetic aperture device can achieve stable aperture control. The closest focusing distance is about 0.25m, the size is about 73.0mm (maximum diameter) x 86.0mm (from the camera lens card The distance from the beginning of the mouth), weighing about 370g.

The lens is the latest Z-mount. It uses 11 electronic contacts to better control the lens and better data transmission with the body, which greatly improves the speed and accuracy of autofocus and tracking. Let's test The objective performance of the lens, the optical performance of the lens is truly restored.

Second, the aperture can be fully opened, the lens sharpness can meet the high pixel body

This part of the test uses the Nikon Z7 body, turn off all internal optimization, ISO sensitivity is adjusted to 64, use A file to test each commonly used aperture file, the results are as follows:

f/1.8
f/2.8
f/4.0
f/5.6
f/8.0
f/11
f/16

The sharpness is best under f/1.8 full open aperture, the resolution will be improved when shrinking to f/4, until f/8, resolution and sharpness are good, at f/11 The picture quality is more obvious, f/16 is the worst. In general, the effect of shooting portraits with f/2.8 or f/4 is still good, there is blurring and it is not easy to run, the picture quality is improved, Nickel Z The 35mm f/1.8 S lens is a very good choice.

Third, anti-glare and ghosting ability is good

Using the iPhone's own flash is facing the lens, only anti-glare and ghost test, this is an important reference value for backlighting ability, the following is the test results:

f/4.0
f/5.6
f/8.0
f/11
f/16

Here again, the lens uses a nano-crystalline lens to optimize glare and ghosting for a clearer picture, with Nikon's 'Lighting' protection filter, which further suppresses glare and ghosting. Under the full aperture f/1.8, there is a slight spot, but the glare is not seen, and the glare is not seen until f/4. At f/5.6, there will be a little glare, and it will be f/ 16 is more obvious. This shows that nano-crystalline coating is very effective in suppressing glare and ghosting. It can be used in shooting, without worrying about glare and ghosting, affecting the picture.

Fourth, the vignetting angle is more obvious. Perhaps it is the reason for the small caliber.

Vignetting is a problem that occurs in every lens. On this lens, the full aperture of the aperture can clearly see that the four corners are black and black, and the aperture shrinks to f/4 to improve, but there is still residue, to f /8 disappeared. In the digital age, this phenomenon can be optimized and post-processed through the machine, the problem is not big.

Five, a little slight distortion

In terms of distortion, there is a little barrel distortion, which means that the middle is a bit prominent, but the optimization in the machine will solve this problem. You don't have to worry about shooting. It will be deformed when shooting. It will not be said when shooting portraits. The face is very big and swollen. In fact, every lens will have this distortion problem, but the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens is a bit obvious. After all, it is close to the wide angle, and the distortion is normal.

Six, real shot proofs

Having said that, let's take a look at the actual shooting of the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens.

In the landscape shooting, the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens is still good. As a street mass bar, the 35mm focal length is close to the human eye. There is no problem in the composition. In the close-up ability, the large aperture brings the virtual The performance is outstanding, the transition between nature and reality is natural and harmonious, and the details are very rich. It is also very eye-catching in terms of color reproduction. Even in indoor low light environment, it can take clear photos, thanks to its large aperture. The maximum amount of light entering.

Seven, PConline evaluation room summary

In the era of pixel explosion, high-pixel cameras test the optical quality of the lens. The quality of the lens can be seen at a glance. Good lens with high resolution, high resolution, good dispersion control, and very good process. High requirements. This Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens is undoubtedly strong in resolving power. It is played on the 55mm diameter Z-mount. This is in the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4. S has seen its greatness, which shows that the S-Line series of lenses are high quality representatives.
