Shot with 40mm f2. JPEGs using a classic neg picture control.

Edit: shot for shit

Earlier today I committed a cardinal sin by posting a photo of a camera and lens combo without photos from said kit. For that, I apologize.

This is a set of uninspired photos to feel through feedback I got on the SG-Image 35mm f2.2. I heard things about the AF, image quality, and exposure issues when in certain priority modes. Some initial thoughts after a couple hours:

AF: not as snappy or sticky (in AF-C) as the Nikon 40mm f2. Kind of figured this, but definitely not unusable for my use case.

Image quality: not as sharp as the 40mm. This seems to be mostly at further distances, even when stopped down. You really have to pixel peep to notice and I think the softness is what gives it more “character” or whatever you want to call it. I took some portraits of my son that I won’t share that are very sharp and on par with the 40mm.

Exposure issues: this one is the weirdest one for me. When in priority modes (I usually am in aperture priority), the camera will overexpose the image by a full stop at times. I haven’t really been able to isolate certain lighting situations that cause it, but it’s fairly easy to adjust the exposure comp dial to compensate for the improper reading. This happened twice in the couple hours of shooting.

Overall, this lens has flaws but I am still leaning on keeping it over my 40mm f2 (I have that for sale if anyone is interested). All three of these issues would be solved if Nikon had the guts to make a 35mm f2 lens.

Just got this lens in the mail and very much like the size and form factor of a 35mm lens. I never really jived with the smaller 40mm or 28mm options that Nikon has available. This is the lens that I wish Nikon made.

Shot on Nikon 40mm f2

Looking to trade my 28mm f2.8 lens for Nikon Z mount. Thought that I could get more into the 28mm FOV, however I find myself missing tighter shots with a little more separation.

Ideally, I would like to trade my 28mm straight up for a 40mm. If you've got an SE version, I could also through in a mist filter to help even out the cost. If you would like to purchase, I am asking $185 shipped from 98226.

No deep scratches or anything on the lens body or glass. Lens is in great condition.

Selling my 28mm f2.8 Z mount lens. This is the non SE version. Comes with both lens caps and can throw in a K&F shimmer diffusion 1 filter. I also have a 40mm SE lens for sale as well, which I can do a discount if you want both.

Asking $150 including shipping and fees.
