One question went through my mind when I was reviewing the Artralab 35mm f1.4 1980s edition. That question: is this best paired with the Nikon Zf? Using this lens with the Nikon z8 reminded me of using vintage optics on Nikon DSLRs. Something about it felt both right and wrong. And so if the Nikon Zf ever really does come out, then the Artralab 35mm f1.4 could indeed be a great lens to pair with the camera. But until then, there’s a lot to like about the ergonomics of this lens. If you’re looking for vintage optics that are just a bit cleaner, then you’re in the right place.
