Zeiss ZF.2 35mm f/1.4 for Nikon
Available Today
The 35mm f/1.4 is a new lens, at this point stocked in addition to the Zeiss 35mm f/2.0. The f/2.0 lens was excellent, albeit rather expensive. The new lens is even better, and even more expensive. In addition to the wider aperture the 35mm f1.4 is an optically new design with closer focusing and even a bit sharper than the original version.

Roger's Take

After that, though, I’m all about this lens. It preserves sharpness well out to the edges with almost no distortion, very little aberration and vignetting for an f/1.4 lens. At f2.0 it’s the sharpest 35mm I’ve shot with, including the ones mentioned above. The bokeh is like butter, as nice as anything I’ve shot with and definitely better (in my opinion) than the Canon or Nikon 35 f/1.4s, but that gets subjective.
I love it. I use it constantly. But one thing I will note for anyone considering it: you need to be ready to autofocus. Focus confirmation lights are nice. But at f/1.4 they aren’t accurate. (To see for yourself use them focusing on the same object from near and from far. It will clearly be two different places that the camera claims focus confirmation.) So if you use this lens be prepared for some live-view focusing. At f/1.4 your wont’ have much chance of accurate focus through the viewfinder.
