Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 on Nikon D700?
if you have the cash, then go for it. If this is a stretch, you can stretch your money else where and get more glass for the money. However, IMO, the sharpness and speed that you would see from this killer lens, won't be there.

Zeiss makes amazing MF glass.

My son just picked up the Zeiss 35 1.4 for his D750 and he gives it six out of five stars.....
Why so serious?
Yeah Zeiss is unreal once you get around the limitations of no AF and such.effron wrote:

The micro contrast is amazing on that lens.

Zeiss bliss.

Sigma makes a nice 35 that's probably a lot cheaper
