The image quality is high, with sharpness maintained from f/1.8 down to f/16, although the corners may be slightly soft at wider apertures. Vignetting is moderate at f/1.8 but evens out at f/2.8, and the lens can focus reasonably close at 25 centimeters. However, there are some drawbacks, such as average performance against bright light, and the maximum aperture of f/1.8 may not make it worth the price for some users. Overall, the Nikon Z 35mm f/1.8 S is a good lens for the price and is recommended for Nikon users seeking a high-quality lens at this focal length.
