I took advantage of the recent special that B&H photo had on some of their Nikon equipment during their 2024 holiday sale that offered 24 month interest free financing when using their Payboo credit card. I had the Z8 for awhile but sold it too soon. I really missed this camera and I’m glad it’s part of my gear again.

Robert G Allen Photography takes delivery of the Nikon Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4 mirrorless lens with sample photos from Nikon

September 14, 2026

Today, I received the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4 mirrorless lens. Considering that it’s not a S line lens, the build quality is pretty good. It’s light and the lens hood is not too big or too small. I would say overall, the design has a pleasing esthetic compact look.
