Testing the Nikon 35mm 1.4 AIS Lens

These shots were made using a Nikon D850. I did not have the opportunity to test he bokeh of the lens. On the shot of the beach house, the lens nailed the scene with beautiful detail and contrast. The sun was at my back for that shot and I underexposed it. For all of the shots I used a circular polarizer and on the seaside shots a graduated ND filter. Despite using the filters, shooting in the direction of the sun cased a marked loss of contrast. The sun was harsh and the sky was in most places not very dramatic. The lens was fun to use, and I especially enjoyed it being so compact.
