Thom's commentary: At long last we have the 35mm f/1.2, rounding out Nikon's three 35mm prime choices (f/1.2 S, f/1.4, and f/1.8 S), and giving us a complete 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm f/1.2 cycle. Nikon has been using the f/1.2 lenses to make design statements; basically just how good a prime can be made. That also shows up in the price and size of the lens.
