    Hats off! This was an unbelievable deep review of this superb lens. Since it was unveiled, I was having lot of questions and lot of imaginations about the performance and mainly an applicability, which remained unanswered, because there is so little practical information out there. All of this is now pretty clear for me. After seeing this I can finally see the potential nad meaning of existence of this lens. I really think Nikon should do something like this to promote the lens at the beginning. Darker side of this is, that I want it! :-D OK, once more a biggest compliment for this review!

    People complaining about the price seem to forget, that there are a lot of lenses particularly cine lenses which are much more expensive. You have Cooke S7i and Arri Signature and Zeiss Supreme primes lenses at around £20k each. You have the Leica 50mm 0.95 at over 9k and the Leica NOCTILUX-M 75mm f/1.25 at 10K.
    Some times lenses cost more for a variety of reasons, particularly when they are specialist lenses.

      @@LondonViewpoints - you'd be surprised to find that an expensive f/1.2 from a competing brand only has a T-stop of 1.5 at f/1.2. That is lot of loss. It does not change the formula for depth of field that related DoF to aperture, distance and focal length (AND circle of confusion that is a somewhat subjective measure of resolution in lens and sensor, which means it is in fact different for each camera/lens combination: a sharp 1.8 on a hi-res sensor could have a shallower depth of field than a fuzzy 1.2 on a lower res sensor).

      Z7, inability to fit a battery grip, single card slot, the fact that the camera feels prosumer and not professional.
      Both, I hate the grip. It is too short and you have that protrusion on the battery grip which is meant to help with the grip fails because it means you have to hold the camera in a certain way, which makes it hard to hold with the whole grip.
      Whilst, I don't hate the AF and Nikon have improved the system. It definitely ranks behind Sony and Canon in terms of AF performance, probably ahead of Panasonic and generally around the level of Fujifilm.
      Nikon have a good platform to build but for me they messed up the details, because they tried to cost cut by using the same body for Z7 as the Z6, by not incorporating a battery grip and by only having a single card slow. Things like the single card slot is stuff that Nikon users used to mock Sony users for not having and then Nikon does exactly the same thing.
      I have been using Nikon for 20'ish years and whilst I love their DSLR's, Nikon has a way of screwing up there other cameras.
      There are positives with the Z6/Z7 and hopefully we will see Nikon step up with the Z6/Z7 s or II adding a grip and second card slot, as well as improving the AF but from what I hear, they are keeping the same form factor, which currently is something I won't buy into.

      @@MichaelLaing71 Some of the same reasons for me too. It took me about 5min to get a cramp, everytime I pick one up. I'm around 20ish years too shooting. I personally never cared for a battery grip. Had a D3s and still shot with the portrait controls locked off. Never had an issue with 1 card slot. Never had a failure, never will b/c I know how to avoid card failures. My D200 lost 3 pins, still no failures with 1.2mil clicks. I didn't own a Z6 or Z7 so I don't know the speed but I did own a Z50 which Iiked but I hate that EVF lag, too bright, battery life was weak unless in jpg and the buffer was small. I don't mind shooting jpeg, I did for years b/c cards were too expensive to go pass 2gb was like omg.
      I don't think mirrorless is for me and I shoot with a DF now which so many complained about, I still don't see why even low light af I don't miss now if something is black it will like a reception hall with no lights.
      Oh and the Z6 and Z7 are enthusiast cameras, the issue is people want them to be more than what they were designed for. They aren't pro bodies and Nikon never said they were. Mirrorless overall is still slow to me including Sony. I still don't see the fascination other than selling YT clicks. I'm in the market for a new main body for next year.

    You know this lens is still sold out. It's crazy how all these reviewers complain about the price tag yet Nikon can't make enough for the demand. Then they all ask the price to go down, why would they lower the cost if they keep selling it? Adorama still has one and Amazon literally has 1 left. There's a total of 5 remaining on eBay. I seriously doubt Nikon will ever lower the price and they honestly shouldn't.

      Is it? I didn’t know that.
