But you can use MTF charts as a scale to measure lens performance. There are other factors that are expressed in different methods, such as taste of softness and degrees of compensation of various aberrations.

Performance characteristics of photographic lenses cannot be expressed with only MTF charts. The Nikon Z 35mm f1.8 S features a partly aluminum and plastic construction, combined with dust and weather-resistant design as well as a bright f1.8. It was designed to work for crop-sensor cameras, which Nikon refers to as DX models, but in many circumstances, it works just fine on full-frame FX cameras as. When sharp lenses capable of delivering uniform optical performance over the entire image field are tested, MTF charts show curves plotted in good balance. The Nikon 35mm f/1.8 G DX AF-S is an F-Mount fixed focal length normal lens for Digital SLR Cameras with DX format sensors. Solid lines show performance in the sagittal (radial) direction while dotted lines indicate performance in the meridional (circumferential) direction. Lens performance differs depending upon directions. This Nikon 35mm f/1.8G lens is a compact, lightweight, fast normal to wide-angle lens for full-frame FX and 35mm cameras. It is also only 300 less than the highly acclaimed Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART, which costs 899.

This is almost twice as much as the previous Nikon 35mm f/2, an AF-D lens which costs just 359. NIKON Df + 35mm f/1.8 35mm, ISO 100, 1/1250, f/1. The closer the 30 lp/mm curve (the thin line for high frequency) to "1" (the higher up), the higher the resolving power and thus the subjective sharpness of the lens will be. The competition is pretty steep, especially considering the new Nikon 35 1.8 costs 596. The closer the 10 lp/mm (line pairs per millimeter) curve (the thick line for low frequency) in an MTF chart to "1" of the vertical axis (the higher up), the higher the contrast reproduction performance of the tested lens will be. MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curves describe to what extent the tested lens can faithfully reproduce contrast of the subject in images it captures. Nikon 35mm wide aperture lens with high-quality optics and compact dimensions designed for use with Nikon DX format cameras.
