Beautiful in silver but I'd prefer the 28mm f/1.4 instead:

Hi Klaus, there are no conclusion and alternatives parts of the review. Was this intentional?

Uups, thx for the pointer. No idea what happened there. Fixed.

A very pretty lens indeed ........ but Nikon's latest release of their Z 35mm F1.4 (non S) lens ...... at a lower price than this lens reviewed here, plus auto-focus and an optical formula that also concentrates on bokeh/ 3D pop and produces bigger and rounder balls even wide open .... is also sharper with better contrast at F1.4/F2 ...... 
  ........ this Thypoch Simera lens arrived at an unfortunate time in it's Z mount ......

Out of the 28mm and this 35mm version, the 28mm seems the better lens.

I think those interested in this Nikkor would never buy this Simera lens anyway.

  Yes, it's made this Z mount version a niche product, two years ago it might have sold like hot cakes .... 

btw .... the actual prices for the two lenses are much the same ..... which means the Z 35mm F1.4 is a bargain being $100 dollars or so less than the Z 35m F1.8S (reviewed here and which is one of Nikon's weaker S lenses)
Nikon will clearly sell thousands of these at that price.

One has to be a diehard MF enthusiast to choose this one over the new Nikon lens. Which I guess will be in very short supply at least in the first few months of production.

BTW does Thypoch have any other lenses on the market besides these two?
