^^ The only ones I've found are the ones on the Nikon site, have you seen it somewhere else??
Just sit tight for another two weeks. They're not currently being sold yet. No lens = no pictures. There are a few rogue sets out there, but nothing substantial.
Nov 12th, well thats what the email said, can only hope.
Here is a great 35mm shot at f/1.4

Oops, that is the Zeiss 35/1.4, not the Nikon 35/1.4.

I found these some time ago and thought everyone had already seen them. perhaps not, so here are a couple of NEFs from the d700 taken by http://www.bogdansandulescu.ro/

I'm patiently awaiting Lloyd Chambers to post a review of this lens along with the Zeiss 35mm 1.4. Both should be dreamy.
I just got back from a photo expo about an hour ago where there was a Nikon table that had a "prototype copy" of the 35mm 1.4G lens. I was playing with it mated to a D3s.
They wouldn't let me put in a memory card to record pictures (I probably shouldn't have even asked) so I really can't comment on the lens' optical performance. In terms of size it's a bit smaller than the 24 1.4G, and focuses about the same speed, maybe a bit slower (I didn't do a side by side comparison).
I asked about the release timeframe and the rep gave me a very vague answer, but basically didn't know. I seriously question the knowledge of reps at these booths as being any better than ours on the Internet though.
That D3s sure was sweet though...

I WANT IT!!!!!

I was there too. I went after reading your note but still couldn't muster the courage to sneak a card in the D3s to snap some 35mm 1.4 shots.
I'm an AIS guy and don't have much experience with AF, so take this observation with a grain of salt. The 35mm and 85mm G lenses seemed slow to focus, and the 85mm lens hunted a fair amount - it reminded me of the 60mm G. On the plus side, the aperture blades of the 35mm 1.4 formed the closest approximation of a circle I've ever seen on a 35mm-format lens, and the built quality seemed superb.
I cannot find any more sample images besides the ones on the Nikon website, which have been shrunk down in size recently.
If I was an AIS guy, I'd be drooling over the release of the Zeiss 1.4. I owned the f/2 and it was a wonderful lens. I just didn't enjoy shooting MF, too many missed shots and hard on the eyes.
If I were to upgrade from my 1.4 AIS I'd probably go with the G because my eye's have been hunting more and more in recent years. But, at $1800 for the Nikon or Zeiss, I'm stoolin' rather than droolin'.
