I had both as well and there is something about the 35mm 1.4g which makes it just much better. I think it is the out of focus transition, also with very busy backgrounds the 1.4g has a lot smoother blur.

The Z version looks more color neutral while the G version gives you a more yellowish skin tone . I have the Z and it’s my favorite lens so far . I bought it refurbished for $650.

Old is gold

I used to have the Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX lens, was such an amazing lens for the price. Traded in all my DSLR gear and F mount lens for mirrorless gear.

I never had the 1.4g or the 1.8g. I got the Z 1.8 s and it's on my camera at weddings 70%of the time.

Thanks man! I got the 35mm 1.8 and now im mulling over getting the 50mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.4 to use with my FTZ adapter to round out my collection. I managed to get the FTZ adapter for only $99 from best buy by buying it with the z6ii body vs the usual $250 price. B&H photo have the same deal too.

Bonzo was the best....Neil p was a close second. Ok moving on from rock n roll ....I’m gonna say the rendering on g lens is out of this world. Wow those shots look beautiful. The z lens looks fine. Clean, sharp, and a bit clinical but that’s probably what I’m gonna pick up based on price. Even used that’s a bit steep for the G...I purchased the 50mm f1.8s lens and wow it’s amazing for a 1.8....also picked up the voightlander 58mm f1.4 for low light and classic rendering. Gorgeous bokeh and sharp enough. Love your channel keep pumping out the rock n roll ! Great comparison review. That was EXTREMELY helpful. Great job 👏

Just ordered the 35mm 1.8s together with a z6ii I've ordered to replace my recently damaged d780. Im coming from a 35mm f2 D and I love that lens, not sure if I will like the sharpness and rendering of the 35mm 1.8s but decided to go with the times and I also like the form factor of the Nikon Z mirrorless. Awesome channel mate, love your fun and laid back but clearly knowledgeable style

The G is a bit warmer, and of course at 1.4 its really nice bokeh, I did notice that the Z was a bit sharper overall, and also at 1.8 had a softer rounder Bokeh than the G, which in highlights, like the bulb from your lamp at home, you could actually see the 8 blade aperature of the G, whereas the S appeared round, whether more blades or just opticals, who knows. Both are great lenses. I do like the tone of the G in this scenario, but the Z probably is more accurate tonally and I can adjust tone in lightroom anyway so I'd rather start more neutral. If I had a Z camera and could only have 1 at this focal length and didn't already have the G, I would buy the Z for a better value, better overall sharpness, and actually a softer bokeh at f stops smaller than the 1.4 which of course, it can't compete with. You can't go wrong either way. I mean, if you have the 1.4 you might as well just use that, because the advantages of the wide open lens can't be beat and at other aperatures it's good enough. Honestly when they come out with a 1.4 Z, it will likely put the G to bed, but will likely cost a small fortune.. Databyter

I think the Z 35 f1.8 did very well in the video tests, showing very comparable optical quality other than not being as fast. Video focus seemed a bit slower to capture with the Z lens, which at this point it is conclusive that only user error can cause that. It was impossible to make an assessment on the stills. Both produced great portraits from what I could see, but there really wasn't a side by side to compare effectively. I have the Z 20, 35, 50, and 85 f1.8S lenses. In order from best to worst, its 50, 20, 85, 35. The 50 and 20 are exceptional, while the 85 and 35 are great. That is in comparison to all modern FF lenses of similar focal length on the market from any manufacturer for any mount and any maximum aperture, and I have owned/used the majority of them. The Z 50 f1.8 is a titan, besting or matching lenses cost 2-8 times as much and some having faster apertures and supposedly better build quality. Weather sealing is a build quality, and, frankly, most weather sealing on other lenses is gimmick as best. Not with Z. The Z 20 f1.8 is the destroyer of all ultra wide to wide prime and zooms lenses, and that includes in astro vs astro lenses that are made almost exclusively for astro use. The Z 85 and 35 are great, but Nikon didn't get it all right on those and they do have some minor, yet noticeable shortfalls. They certainly beat or match everything like them on the market, but do not punch above their weight class like the 50 and 20.

thanks for the review of both lenses really helpful

Esther is a good model. Thank you for sharing the photo session as well.

Excellent video. I loved the context and background that you are giving for the lenses. Help me understand things which I am not very clear about.Very clear explanation. I have Nikon Z5. But loved the 35G f1.4.

The z ƒ1.8 seem sharper than the ƒ1.4... Hmmm. I also think it renders color better

I’m missing a 35 1.4. I’m leaning towards va tamron f mount1.4. for my 850 and z8.

Die besten Nikon Linsen Nikon 14-24 2.8G Nikon 35 mm 1.4G Nikon 58 mm 1 4G Nikon 85 mm 1 4G Nikon 70-200 2.8E FL Nikon 300 mm 4.0E PF....

35 mm 1.4G is absolutely winner. you can't go wrong with Nikon z lens. it's very sharp but difference is not that big. thanks for the video ).

I had to go a little different route because I had the old 35mm f2 D lens. The Nikkor 35mm f1.4 cost too much for me and I wanted a lens that AF on my Z cameras. So I opted for a used Sigma 35 f1.4 Art. It works well with the adapter and on my D850 and D3s.

Hey vahagan, I had the nikon 35mm 1.4 , but I found that had lots chromatic and purple fringing, at least for me...now I have the 35mm 1.8s and is supper sharp, but I found it to be too clinical ...overall I'm very 😊...keep up the good work bro Alanjcravophotography

Just bought 35 1.4/ 85 1.4/ 17-35 2.8 all for $275 The girl didn't know anything about camera equipment but was trying to pawn it. I just wait on her to see what they offered her which was $200 so I said $275. I win silly pawn shop should have given her a little more. And they work perfectly

Nice review video of the 35mm 1.4G and 1.8S lenses. The S lens seem wider on the video test and they both perform very good.

Excellent video! The comparison length-wise at the end was helpful too. If you ever get a chance, I’d love to see a similar comparison between the 24mm f1.4G, which I saw you already reviewed, and the Z-mount 24mm f1.8. I’m trying to decide between the two, and I’ll also throw out a third option: the Sony GM 24mm f1.4, adapted onto my Z6 using the Techart TZE-01.

I think the Tamron 35mm 1.4 is ridiculously SHARP!!!

I think the defocused areas where less nervous on the Z lens. Not as blurred but smoother.

Great info, love the style. Rock on! (Ghost Rider R.I.P.)

I have the 35 Z and love it . I also had a F mount 35 sigma 1.4 and found that focus even after updating lens was a little slow at times. I didn't have any F mounts coming from a Crop so I've gone full Z 24-70 2.8 and 50 1.8 as well

I have zfc. Which prime lense is best for me. Plz suggest.iam an ametuer

Is the nikkon af 35mm 1.4g compatible to nikon z50? Thank for answering sir.

@Vahagraphy good comparison between between 1.4G vs 1.8S Lens. The photo session with Esther is good. thx

I don’t understand why and I know the g lens is 10 years or so old but damn I hate the look of the z lens for whatever reason I don’t like the way they look and that focus ring on the z lens is about 70 percent of the lens size.. damn!! I personally like the g lens way better than the new lens ….the new lens feel sturdy but look cheap at least the primes do

Great stuff thank you!

That was a cool and fun video!

I feel like there are a lot of better lenses than 35mm 1.4g BUT this lens has own beautiful unperfection

Nice video. However, I do believe my D700 would compete with very similar results, using the 35G

Course the 1.4 f is better they usually pit z lenses against none pro glass , this is why d850s are still flying off shelves , pro glass f mount glass Still rocks

I appreciate your videos and always look forward to your opinion.

I had the Sigma 35mm f1.4 art lens for my d800, and when I bought my z6 2 years ago it came with the ftz adapter. I used nothing but adapted lenses for the first 6 months until I bought the 50mm f1.8s lens. And I was blown away on how sharp and fast the native lens was compared to the dslr lenses. So I decided to buy the Nikon 35mm f1.8s and yes it’s an amazingly fast and sharp lens. But the Sigma 35mm f1.4 is just as good and in my opinion sharper than the new Nikon. So I sent back the new Nikon 35mm and have been using the sigma 35mm with great success. Now if I would get into doing videos I would have definitely kept it. But after 2 years I only bought the new 85mm f1.8s lens and the rest of my lenses are all dslr lenses. It’s the best part about mirrorless cameras is you can adapt just about any lens to the cameras. Nikon is slowly coming out with some faster lenses. But I see nothing in their roadmap for a 105mm f1.4. And my favorite lens on my z5 and z6 is the Sigma 105mm f1.4 art lens. Sharpest lens in my whole lens lineup. You couldn’t pay me to part with it. So I tell newer photographers, get what fits your budget and use it. Don’t worry about the newest and greatest. Beautiful young lady there. I really loved the photos of her with her drum set. Great video

Tamron 35-1.4 is the best

Which one is choose sigma 35 f1.4 or Nikon 35mm f1.4g..?

Great!!!

Great content, what camera and lens did you use for your face to cam sequence?

The G lens looks sharper with better contrast.

both are great.. I will pick the cheapest one....

Try Tamron 35mm 1.4. Thank me later

the G lens clearly has noise when doing video but image quality is great.

Good Video...Well done :)

Color is nicer on the f-mount lens.

I like the look of 1.4G but not weight & price.

Good stuff well presented. I also own the Nikkor 35 1.4G and it spends a good amount of time on my D850 as it’s incredibly versatile with superlative results. CA an issue in high contrast wide open aperture situations, easily fixed post processing but it’s the only downside I find. Did you notice a reduction in CA’s between the two at F1.8? Just curious... Thanks for sharing! Ciao.

image on the 35 f1.4 looks more true and liveness, Z35 is flat and dull

8:29 Nikon z better Contrast and modern image, Nikon G soft in color and contrast. Nikon z winner for my taste!

some one should help me with camera

35 1.4 aint the sharpest thing, but it is the bokeh king.

35mm 1.4 g stands more out defently

gun's roses is not a rockband !!! only the guitarist rocks !!!

Great vid. Lars sucks.
