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.

Best Lens...Even better that the 85mm 1.2
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.

Mostly Does The Job Expected Of It
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2023
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).

But, i am very very disappointed with the seller who had sent product with opened/ breaked seal.
The packaging for product like lens was pathetic, few Papers were just put in there instead of proper bubble thing.
I would highly recommend every professional to buy such specialized product from company store instead of online platform.
