The engineers outdid themselves on this one. It’s not perfect, but it’s still perfect for most photographers from serious hobbyists to working professionals. Portraits, weddings, travel, landscapes, …almost any type of photographer will find a good 35mm prime to be very useful. Personally, I’m a huge fan of 35mm instead of 50mm, for many types of photography.
To be honest, as not just a landscape and portrait photographer but also as a serious nightscape and timelapse photographer, …I’m waiting to see how the imminent Nikon Z 24mm f/1.8 S and Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S perform, because that’s usually a preferable focal range for astro-landscape work.
All in all, though, for $850 you won’t be disappointed. Forget everything you thought you knew about f/1.8 lenses, and give this impressive optic a try!"
