Nikon 35mm f/1.4 G AF-S vs f/2 AF-D

I don't know why I should want to watch a video which wants to tell me that my AF-D produces pictures with awful bokeh. I had fun shooting with it until today and I'm going to search for fun stuff about gear somewhere else.

why wuo;d u take that lens home?

What mode does anybody recommend for street photography? Because sometimes I need to be in aperture priority but also need to control my shutter speed. I appreciate any answer 🙂

Kai always seems a bit surprised when people recognise him and want to say hello and either take his picture or have one taken with him. He should realise by now that he and Lok, and Alamby of course, have become firm favourites with thousands of followers. I count myself among them. 🙂

Damn that EOS-1 looks amazing.

The 35mm f/2 is still one of my favorite lenses. Well built and super versatile.

which lens would you recomend for landscape photography for my nikon D33OO? my price range is 5OO-85O$give or take.

thank-you

Good! Отлично

hey which micro lens is best 50mm or 40mm or 35mm

Kai gets his shit for free, no shit he's gonna pick the more expensive one lol

35 1.4g is 1600$ vs 35 f2 is 300$
Do You really pay extra 1300$ to shoot at F1.4 and get even compared result at F2.8 and F4 ?

Wouldn't the 35mm f/1.8G, compared to the f/2.0D, have been a more reasonable review?

The 35mm f/1.4 G feels great on my D700, looks great and shoots stunning images.  The D lens on the other hand is just adequate and sort of just there.  The dental drill sound the D makes while focusing is indeed annoying, and the bokeh is ugly.  The only D lens I like is the 60mm 2.8  D macro but I try to use the manual mode when I can.  The G series is the way to go and I love the 1.4 series.  I would rather have a few excellent lenses than a whole bag of outdated mediocre ones.  Sometime less is more if it means I have less G lens.  Good review.

Sigma ART 35mm 1.4 or Nikon 35mm 1.4? Which one do you guys prefer?

Is this in HK?

Did Kai nail that horny mom or nah?

Kai always recommends expensive lens over the budget lens. He should emphasize what is the best use of a budget lens. Nikon India video recommends a 35 mm lens for group portraits and an aperture of f/8 to have everyone in sharp focus. If so, why not buy a budget lens? I think reviewers do not understand why Nikon makes such a variety of lenses and continues to produce older lenses even after they introduced the f/1.8 and f/1.4 lenses. Kai always talks of bokeh even for wide angle lenses!!!

Hehe Kai got so much attention in this video.

I look back at these old DRTV episodes in a very fond way too.

dude …you talk absolute bullshit in your reviews. worthless… "there s nothing wrong with it… it takes photos "… seriously ???! @ 00:45… I ll tell you what's wrong… ITS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY that sucks. the lens is brilliant… I use it and it's excellent. have taken some stunning shots with it

what Street in Hong Kong is that?

is the nikon af-d 35mm a sharp lens. i do not think my copy is. how best to test the sharpness of a lens, especially this one…

exepensive things, but not all expensive things are great

Too many irrelevant cheche-boreches! Why not go directly to the review and comparison? Why waste so much time????!!!!!

amazing lens thanks for helping me decide which one to buy

no need to be transphobic…

Absolute hipster garbage.

The 35 F2 looked better when the 1.4 was at 1.4 and f2.  By 5.6 the 1.4 looked better.

does kai speak chinese? i wonder..

If the side by side photos were intended to show the superiority of the $1,600 lens over the $300 lens, I'm afraid I missed the point, especially on a 12 mp D700, which is what I still shoot. Thanks for showing me that for the $1300 difference, I'm not missing out on anything that I need by using the 35mm f2 AF-D lens.

I could perhaps see someone buying the AF-S 1.8 G version at $500 for use on a newer, higher resolution camera if it is any good, which I'm sure it probably is.

I have a 24mm 1.4G but went for the 35mm f/2. Why? Because I wanted a nice small and light prime, not a boat anchor for this specific length. I may one day get the 1.4. I prefer lugging the 35 to the 24 at the moment. The 24mm however is an excellent lens as the 35mm 1.4G no doubt is.

Thanks for the review. Please, please, change the background music. Thanks.

Nikon strap, Nikon camera folks TAKE NOTE

no es un review serio porque las fotos son muy malas1!!!

Another dismal video that I NEVER SEEM to watch your videos through. Not even sure you know what your talking about. Just B.S. the amateurs.

Unfortunately not very good review, only praising 1.4g lens as it is newer and more expensive.

I have owned f/2d for years and have never wished it was sharper, wide open resolves eye lashes but DOF is already very narrow so focus needs to be spot on.

F/2d has amazingly rich and deep colours, it is low element count lens, B&W pictures are on pair with voigtlander 25mm 1.4, I can't find any faults and as it is small balances very well on my d3s

Really I can't see a reason to buy a bigger 35mm even if it was priced the same

1:42 what street in Hongkong is that? Cause i want to buy old camera there.

I don’t think a single shot was in focus this whole video

6 times the price? That teddy bear test of background blur proofed that unless you print at a2 no one is gonna tell the diff, and the same principle for sharpness. Then again your trying to flick these of for a commission so yes 6 times the price you do try and justify hug

Do people ever beat you up for shooting pics of them?

35/1.4 wide open is a charmer. Otherwise 35/2D all day, everyday. Great 3D pop and wonderful BW

It's funny bc you do come across as an obnoxious twat at times but in this vid you really do prove yourself to be one, especially around the 5 minute mark. What a prick.

2:00 Holy crap i just bought that today from a flea market for $80.

5:00 "that is a guy!" Probably the best thing ever!
