Nikon NIKKOR Z DX MC 35mm f/1.7 Reviews

It's a nice 'normal' and 'macro' lens

By Jeff
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-28

I'm happy with the Z50II for a travel and lightweight camera with the 18-140 wide range, but wanted this for background blur and 'macro' at times. I have the 12-28, which makes an extra wide kit but gets away from my simpler 18-140 while bicycling and not switching lenses. I added the 26 pancake for when small size feels like more fun. Some of this together, in a small bag, is still minimal compared to a Z8 and a lens or two so it's fun to have the options available.

Very Happy With Images

I bought both the 35mm f/1.7 and the 16-50 f/2.8 lenses. I'm super happy with the image quality of the 35 f/1.7. I uploaded two versions of the same image: One full view field of view, and one with a 100% crop of the red flower. I hope the detail is visible on-line.
