The Nikon 35mm 1.4 and the 50mm 1.4 are two budget options for your Nikon Z system. But are they any good? And should you get the 50mm 1.8 instead? Or the 40mm f2?
Thanks to Nikon USA for the loaner. This is an unsponsored, non-paid, video. Nikon did not review this video prior to its release...and we sent the lenses back.

UPDATE: FIRMWARE 2.0 CHANGES WHAT SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO. NEW VIDEO HERE:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FClX9c4tx4w
Hi guys! Ive been having a fun time shooting and testing the Nikon Zf. What a great camera! Ill have a final review soon, but I wanted to show folks how ISO works on the Nikon Zf as its a little confusing, especially for Fujifilm shooters used to a certain way to engage Auto ISO.
I found keeping the dial on C and using the custom button settings I show in the video is my preferred method. Ive been setting the camera to Aperture Priority and choosing an ISO of 400-800 as a general starting point. If I decide to use an auto ISO, I tend to. keep it at 1600, as the files are still super clean.
I hope Nikon releases firmware that allows us to use C to engage AUTO ISO.
