CES 2014: Nikon has rounded-out its line of relatively affordable F1.8 primes for FX cameras, with the launch of the AF-S Nikkor 35mm F1.8G. It uses a Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet autofocus, and includes one ED and one aspheric element in its optical construction. It’s not to be confused with the existing AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm F1.8G, which is for DX format cameras only. It’ll be on sale February 20th with a MSRP of $ 599.95.

In a brief note on its Japanese website, Sigma has announced that the Sony and Pentax mount versions of its highly-regarded 35mm F1.4 DG HSM ‘Art’ lens will go on sale on 31st May. It’s also announced that the Nikon-mount version of its 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM ‘Sports’ telephoto zoom will be available at the same time. We gave the 35mm F1.4 our Gold Award when we reviewed it back in December, for its combination of exceptionally good optics and solid build at a price rather lower than the camera manufacturers’ equivalents.

NAB 2013: Canon has announced the development of a 35mm prime lens in its Cinema EOS range. It is designed to be used on movie cameras with image sensors up to 35mm full frame in size, and includes a range of features optimized for movie shooting. The company has not finalized its specifications and pricing, but says it will release further details in due course. However as the Cinema EOS primes offer T-stops that correlate closely with existing L-series primes, it seems likely the 35mm will be approximately T1.5, and of course use the EF mount.

low light, bokeh test with my Canon 35mm 1.4 on a 7D. Between 100 – 800 ISO.
Video demonstrating the wide and zoom capabilities of Nikon’s 18-300mm AF-S lens. Like I mention in the video, it is a bit heavy. Although considering how many lenses it replaces, it is a pleasure. However, compared to Tamron’s 18-270mm, it is noticeably heavier. Perhaps I’ll make a video comparing the two (Tamron 18-270mm to the Nikon 18-300mm) …thoughts? Enjoy!
This fixed-focal length lens is perfect for portraits and good for the bokeh!!! All pictures shot on a Nikon D3100 with the 35mm f/1.8G lens. Sample images link.. www.flickr.com
