This is one great lens.
I shoot family portraits and weddings for a living. I can use this on the Family portraits on my Nikon Z6 and it is a very sharp lens with good contrast and fast focus.
I use a 85mm Z on my second Z6 on portraits for a two camera setup.
The 35mm for the group photos and the 85mm for the single and two people photos.

From the manufacturer
A Wider World of Possibilities.
35mm prime. A desert-island lens for many. Wide enough to nail the view. Shallow enough to draw out subjects. Fast enough to make the impossible possible. And so sharp...just utter unwavering sharpness. In reimagining this classic lens for the new Z system, we may very well have perfected it.
-
Perception Redefined
Empowered by the Z system's larger mount, shorter flange distance, raw imaging power and video capabilities, the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S will redefine your perceptions of what an f/1.8 lens can do.
-
Wide-Open Sharpness
Epic definition and resolution from the center of the frame to the edges, even at its f/1.8 maximum aperture. No need to stop this lens down.
-
Fast, Accurate Focus
The larger Z Mount delivers more light to a Z camera's powerful PDAF system for extremely high focusing accuracy and speed.
-
The Undistorted Truth
An improved optical formula for virtually zero flare, ghosting, coma or chromatic, spherical and axial aberration, even at the far edges of the frame.
-
Next-Generation Z Design
The Front Line of an Imaging Revolution
Z lenses combine reliability and beauty with next-dimension optical performance.
-
Next-Generation Z Design
Durable & Lightweight
Extensively sealed against dust and moisture around all moving parts of the compact barrel.
-
Next-Generation Z Design
New Customizable Control Ring
Can be used for manual focus, aperture control (great for video recording) or exposure compensation.
-
Next-Generation Z Design
Dual Detect 5 Axis VR
Uses VR enabled Z cameras' superior in-camera image stabilization system for up to 5 stops of VR.
1 Lens Design 2 Durability 3 Customization 4 Vibration Reduction
-
Jack of all Situations
Few lenses are as versatile as a fast 35mm prime. Ideal for landscapes, street photography, weddings, environmental portraits, filmmaking and more. Brilliant in low-light. Lightweight and portable.
-
Dreamy Backgrounds
A 9-blade rounded diaphragm and f/1.8 aperture combine with the larger mount and shorter flange distance to produce a stunning round bokeh.
-
Beautiful Establishing Shots
Human eye-perspective puts viewers at the heart of the shot, whether it's an interview, tutorial video or product demo. Near-silent autofocus is powered by a new stepping motor.
-
Shines in Low Light
Draws peak performance from a Z camera's outstanding low light capabilities. Captures point-of-light sources like streetlights with uncanny sharpness and minimal spherical aberration.

Mostly Does The Job Expected Of It
My brand new Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S | Premium Large Aperture 35mm Prime Lens for Z Series mirrorless cameras works great in manual mode and does not perform as well as I expected it to in Auto. I'm using it with my Z9 and I do almost exclusively static photography and am happy with it. It is A Nikon, so it is well built and of course A bit expensive. Still all and all, I do recommend its purchase as needed.

+ excellent image quality
+ very sharp, low distortion
+ fast and accurate AF
- not the 'feel' of a 1.4, let alone a Leica lens...
It's a quite big, but light and well built 35mm than can cope with the sensor res of the Z7.
(My AF-S 35/1.4 only delivers around 28MP, hence doesn't do on the Z7).
What I would have hoped for is a 1.4 version that would get closer to (but probably never reach) my Leica Summilux 35.
Overall, more versatile than the 50mm (which is also awesome).

The Nikon 85mm 1.8 is a great lens...especially for the price. It was much better to get this lens than the 85mm 1.2 that cost over 3 times the price. I have all the 1.8 S line lens for the Z mounts.

Hier meine Erfahrungen aus der Praxis:
Ich nutze das Objektiv für Landschafts- und Portraifotografie. Die Schärfe ist unglaublich gut und bei offener Blende erfüllt auch der Unschärfebereich absolut meine Erwartungen. Weich, cremig und auch die "Bokeh-Bubbles" sind sehr schön. Ich bin aber auch kein "Bokeh-Bubble-Pixelpeeper" der mit 200% in die Unschärfe zoomt und dann in einem Fachkreis darüber diskutiert ob die Bubbles zu eliptisch oder eckig sind. Ich gehe auch nicht nach irgendwelchen Zwiebelmustern auf die Suche. Das können gerne die Leute machen, die nur zwischen 1.0 und 1.2 Offenblende fotografieren und sich gerne Maßkrüge vor die Kamera schrauben.
Autofokus und Augenerkennung: Imho ohne Fehl und Tadel. In der Landschaftsfotografie habe ich so gut wie gar keinen Ausschuss, bei Portraits sitzt der Augenfokus ebenfalls fast immer.
Bildqualität: Toller 3D ähnlicher Effekt bei offener Blende. Das freigestellte Objekt wirkt wie "rausgestanzt" und sehr plastisch. Durch die 1.8er Blende habe ich auch noch einen guten Schärfebereich und es ist deutlich angenehmer und einfacher wie bei 1.0er/1.2er Blenden. Toller knackiger Look, an dem es (zumindest für mich) absolut nichts zu meckern gibt.
Größe/Gewicht/Haptik: Klein, leicht, kompakt. Verarbeitet aus hochwertigem Kunststoff, an dem es nicts zu meckern gibt. Dadurch kann eben das geringe Gewicht erzielt werden. Deswegen bitte kein rumgeheule, weil es nicht "aus wertigem Metall ist".. Wie man immer wieder lesen kann. Ich hänge lieber mit leichtem Rucksack im Berg, anstatt mit "wertigem Metall". Aber das muss jeder für sich selbst entscheiden.
Das wars auch schon, mehr gibts nicht zu sagen. Kaufen, dranschrauben, Spass haben ;)
Hier noch mein Vergleich zum 35 1.4 Fuji bzw. allgemein zu anderen Systemen: Ich habe Canon durch, ich habe Sony durch und glaube ich kann mir desewegen ein gutes Bild über alle 4 Systeme machen. Mit Nikon fotografiere ich erst seit einem halben Jahr und bin eigentlich immer "Canonian" gewesen. Gut sind alle vier, der rest ist Glaubens- und Preisfrage. Sony ist am längsten am Markt und hat mit Abstand die größte Auswahl an Objektiven, wie allgemein bekannt. Canon baut bis auf wenige Ausnahmen nur Objektive ab 2.000 EUR aufwärts und wer dort in den Genuss von 50 MP kommen will, der blutet ganz böse aus dem Portemonnaie. Meiner Meinung nach hat Nikon mit Abstand das beste Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis auf dem Markt.
Nehmen wir uns nun mal im direkten Vergleich das fast 10 Jahre alte Fujinon 35 1.4 vor. Auf Vollformat gerechnet haben wir hier in etwa 52 mm mit Blende 2.1. Preis aktuell bei Amazon: 599 EUR. Das dagegen ziemlich neue Nikon 50 1.8 liegt bei 548,99 EUR und damit ist das relativ neue Vollformat 50er günstiger als die 10 Jahre alte Fuji Klapperkiste. Ich denke, ich muss an der Stelle zum Thema Preis/Leistung nichts mehr sagen. Bitte versteht mich nicht falsch: Ich fotografiere schon lange mit Fuji und ich fotografiere gerne mit Fuji. Und auch mit dem 35 1.4 habe ich ein paar meiner schönsen Fotos gemacht. Aber das Ding ist weder haptisch, noch technisch eine Freude und der nervig laute und klapprige Fokusmotor trifft auch nur, wenn er mal einen guten Tag hat. Fuji ist ein tolles System, aber gerade die älteren Primes (z.B. 56 1.2) sind in Sachen Preis/Leistung einfach Mist. Ist ein schickes Teil, aber knapp 50 % teurer als ein neues Nikkor Z 85 1.8. ich habe ebenfalls beide (und ja, das 56er hat eine gewisse Magic) kann aber trotzdem gegen das 85 ohne wenn und aber einpacken.
So, genug abgeschweift. Kaufts, oder kauft es nicht :) Ich hab noch ein paar Bilder hochgeldaen. Viel Spass!
