Is the nikon z 35mm f 1 2 s good for video?

Yes, with a few caveats. The Nikon Z 35mm f/1.2 S is a large, very fast prime, so it gives you soft backgrounds and works well in dim rooms, which suits interviews and moody scenes. It's not stabilised, though, so for handheld walking shots you'll want a body with stabilisation built in.

On full frame, 35mm is a bit tighter than the wide view I'd pick for vlogging at arm's length. If you shoot yourself, look for something wider. Sound matters more than the lens, so plan a microphone before anything else.

Full frame bodies on its list include the Nikon Z6 III, Nikon Z8 and Nikon Zf. For the basics, see the Video guide, its vlogging tips and the audio section.
