One of the launch lenses for the Nikon Z system — the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S delivers a classic 35mm field of view with S-line optical quality, weather sealing, and a versatile close focus distance of 25cm. The 35mm focal length sits between wide and standard, making it one of the most natural perspectives for documentary, street, and environmental portrait work. S-line construction means edge-to-edge sharpness from f/1.8 with minimal coma or chromatic aberration. At under £900 it is one of the most affordable S-line lenses in the Z system and a natural first prime for shooters stepping up from the Z kit zoom.
An excellent first prime for Nikon Z shooters — S-line sharpness and weather sealing at 35mm, with a close focus distance that opens up creative options beyond most 35mm primes.
