Hi Willem
Since I own some of the mentioned lenses (and a D3x), here's a brief rundown:
Nikkor G 1,4/35: very sharp in the center, but has considerable curvature of field and some CA, particullarly near the edges.
Nikkor G 1,8/28: Pretty much same comments as above, but possibly too much COF for your usage.
Nikkor Ais 2,8/28: Showing its age, will not do justice to the D3x.
Zeiss ZF II 2/35: Sharp and contrasty in the center, but too much CA near edges.
Zeiss ZF II 1,4/35: Best of the lot. Modest COF, practically no CA, sharp to the edges stopped down a bit. Big, heavy, expensive and MF, but superlative IQ.
These are of course results from my samples of the lenses, YMMV.
Cheers
