[GEAR REVIEW] I recently got the Nikkor 135 1.8 S "Plena" and 35 1.8 S lenses for my portrait shots--the Plena for headshots that produce creamy bokeh, and the 35 for more environmental images. I thought of trying these lenses out in an unconventional way to see how far I can push their performance by including focusing speed as an additional challenge. What better way to try it out than in the EKart Raceway in Antipolo! The Z9 was my body of choice for amazing action shots, since it has a fast AF system and has no problem tracking faces while the subject is rapidly changing direction even in low light situations. To my surprise, both lenses did very well in capturing sharp images with such accurate focusing on my subject's faces! The Plena though was noticeably faster in targeting and locking onto the eyes. Nikon has once again exceeded my expectations with its excellent lenses, making shooting a delight and my job so much easier.
