Today, Nikon kicks off a new line of f/1.4 prime non S lenses for the Z mount. First up, the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 lens.
Even though it’s a faster lens compared to the f/1.8 S line of prime lenses, the S designation is missing from this prime. That may explain why it’s missing some of the coatings that are found on the S line of lenses.
Here are some sample images from Nikon:

What do you all think? Let me know in the comments what you think of a non s lens upstaging the S line of primes with a faster appapurte.
Within a few days of taking delivery of the complete professional f/2.8 zoom trio, Nikon announced the new NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II, replacing the original NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens I had just purchased. For now, I’m staying with the original 24-70 f/2.8 Z lens for now, mostly due to the price difference. Once the novelty wares off and the price comes down on the new version, I’m sure I will eventually purchase the II version and sell the original one.
