Hey everyone! Today I have a real world review of the new 35-100mm f2.8 Di III VXD lens which is available for both Z mount and FE mount. During this review I'm using the lens on the Nikon Z8 and Sony A7IV for photo as well as the A9III for video. I am testing this lens' image quality, colours, sharpness, autofocus performance, focus breathing, focus while zooming bokeh, lens flare, chromatic aberration and more. Let me know what you think of it in the comments!
