Correction, see update on S-line, all the information you need right here. Thanks to @jkldb4815 for pointing it out. www.nikonusa.com/learn-and-explore/c/products-and-innovation/s-line-a-badge-of-honor-for-nikkor-z-lenses

[@jklbd4815]

S line and non S line lenses don't have anything to do with flange distance and inner mount diameter, the S line is superior because of the lens coatings and special glass elements

[@francoismasuabi]

Thank you very much for pointing this out, I have pined a comment with a link to the S-line information to ensure correct information is shared. Appreciate the feedback.

[@Vigi011]

s line and non s line, have the same flange distance both are mirrorless design lenses

[@francoismasuabi]

Hey man. Yes I found that out afterwards. I pinned a comment stating my errors and directing everyone to a specific link. Had to learn the hard way😅

[@jgoolsbyphotography]

The 35 1.2 is still coming

[@francoismasuabi]

This will be a beast of a lens when it comes out. Definitely out of my budget...for now

[@LocalIsLekker-ss9ef]

They are indeed smart in this approach 👏🏻. And this lens will not only attract the Z6iii buyers but also people with older Z bodies.

[@francoismasuabi]

Exactly. Watch out for a lot of videos coming from various creators about this lens.

[@PsychedelicChameleon]

Thank You Francois!

[@francoismasuabi]

You are welcome!

[@Ben_Stewart]

24mm f1,4 next?

[@francoismasuabi]

That would be something, then again would be very expensive that lens.

[@mindcave]

Why? Because the 1.8 is even better.

[@francoismasuabi]

Yes, that is true. I have the 24-70s which does a brilliant job, so a 35mm with a much wider aperture will fit in nicely.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

USD prices, * $700: Tamron SP 35mm f/1.4 Di USD Lens for Nikon F * $600: Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 Lens * $700: Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S We should ask Tamron why the Nikon Z 35mm f/1.4 is so cheap.

[@francoismasuabi]

You are not the first person to mention Tamron as the reason behind this. I have been trying to something that links the 2 but have come up empty. Any info to share so that I can look into this more?

[@marcp.1752]

Your simple Milk-maid bill doesn't fit here. Nikon Z 35/1.4 - 11 lens elements into 9 groups, incl. 2 asph), Tamron 35 F1.4 SP - 14 elements in 10 groups, 3 aspherical, 4 LD (low dispersion), BBAR-G2 coating.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

@@francoismasuabi It was partly the agreement between Nikon and Tamron in 2022 where Tamron would not compete. It seems that having Tamron make the f/1.4 lenses fits that. The 17-28mm f/2.8, 28-75mm f/2.8, and 70-180mm f/2.8 lenses were made by Tamron. I think that has been widely acknowledged. I have also talked to Nikon and Tamron reps, basically together, and they acknowledged the f/2.8 zooms were made by Tamron. The Tamron rep also said that they made other lenses for Nikon.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

@@marcp.1752 Your simple mind seems unable to grasp the idea that Tamron might make a new lens for the Nikon badge.

[@marcp.1752]

@@UnconventionalReasoning As long as you don't show a matching Tamron patent, its just hot air from your simple mind.

[@parmanduke]

Why is it so cheap? It’s a Tamron. Great price.

[@francoismasuabi]

This is an interesting statement. Where can I read more about this?

[@unique93obr]

Tamron had the the best 35mm f1.4 lens for DSLRs, their 35mm was as good as Canon 35mm f1.4L II...if it's simmilar to that, it would be awesome...but I think it's simmilar optically to 40mm f2...which is still enough for lot's of people...we will see. :)

[@Klausmausi]

It is not a Tamron. Totally different construction and MTF charts.

[@billmoyer3254]

It is a Nikon design.
