Big, heavy, expensive, but?

I haven't tried this one for action shots, but for anything else, if your shot comes out poorly, you probably did something wrong. Love this lens.

If you have the money buy this lens. If you need an 85mm for your profession you must buy this lens.

Outstanding quality. It's been great for events where I have room to step back. Exelent lowlight performance.

Get it

Love it more than I thought. I had the Z mount 85mm F1.8 and watched the videos suggesting that was sharper than the F1.2. Thankfully I thought better of it and bought the lens. It's a magic maker. I love it. I've had Nikon lenses for 30 years. Constantly upgrading and amassed over 10 great lenses. And my F mount 85 was my all time favorite. I still love it, but I'll not miss it. It's been replaced!

Superb concert lens!

Coupled with the Z9, this is an unbeatable concert lens! Focus is fast and accurate, delivering sharp images, even wide open with moving subjects. I could not be more pleased!

Worth every penny.

Stunning piece of glass. Very fast autofocus and renders colors and contrast better than any other piece of Nikon glass I own (not to say any of them are slouches). Not a fan of 85mm focal length but this pulls me out of my comfort zone and get creative. Bravo Nikon.

The King of Portrait Lenses

A picture's worth a thousand words as they say. This holds especially true for this lens. The sharpness and separation of the background and subject is staggering. Even during a race with fast moving subjects, it's unbelievable how sharp and focused it is. It's expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. If you're looking to elevate your photography game and give your clients the best of the best, look no further. This is it.

Nikon Z85mm 1.2s Lens

This is a great lens. I've had this sense early April 2023. You can find reviews online for a more in-depth review. The 85mm 1.2 is mounted on my Z9 ,it is well balanced and feels great in my hands. The separation of subject to back ground is amazing at 1.2 aperture, the subject pops and is sharp while the background just disappears. The resolve of this lens is awesome the detail in landscapes will amaze you. This lens is great for portraits and does landscapes and night photography very well. the attached photos were both shot at 1.2 aperture .

The pro lens that I have been waiting for

This is the lens I have been waiting for as a long time Nikon shooter and launch day/early Z mount mirrorless adopter. This lens is beautifully designed and has a great weight to it, not much more different than the 50mm f1.2. This is truly a premium lens, worthy of the "Superior" badge. I recently had a photo shoot that ran into the night hours. I typically dislike shooting at night. Having to boost ISO or using light that will leave your background completely underexposed if you are not careful. Also having to shoot at slower shutter speeds can become very cumbersome and limiting. With the f/1.2 max aperture of this lens, I was able to use a light wand to illuminate my subjects while preserving the dimly lit environment for context and depth. The bokeh is very dreamy, and before now, my favorite lens for creamy bokeh was from the adapted 105mm f1.4. The improved working distance of 85mm and the faster 1.2 aperture greatly improves my workflow. Stopping down the aperture still yields some very sharp and amazing images, but if you pay this much for a pro level lens with a 1.2 aperture, I assume you may want to shoot at that 1.2 as much as possible. Otherwise the 85mm f1.8 would be more than sufficient.

Bokeh Beast

It is a bokeh beast! The lens is large, and i feel i can hide behind it, or my Z7ii body can. It's super quiet and fast and focus is sharp all around! Low light situations? No problem! It feels like holding a newborn in your hands. I've shot a wedding with it already and I'm in love with it, along with the other photogs who saw me use use it!

Astonishing Lens

The bokeh and blur makes the images pop up so well ...and the sharpness and rendering is extremely pleasing. In fact the pics look better than the reality. I am hobbyist and was worrying about the weight, but this isn't as heavy as I expected and feels good in the hands. It does appear much bigger with lens hood attached. Will be my primary lens for family portraits unless I am traveling long distance where 24-70 2.8S would serve the purpose.

A picture's worth a thousand words as they say. This holds especially true for this lens. The sharpness and separation of the background and subject is staggering. Even during a race with fast moving subjects, it's unbelievable how sharp and focused it is. It's expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. If you're looking to elevate your photography game and give your clients the best of the best, look no further. This is it.

Where professional photography meets cutting-edge technology, the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S Lens stands as a testament to Nikon's commitment to quality and innovation. This lens, bundled with Hoya 82mm UV and CPL Filters, is designed for photographers and videographers who specialize in portraiture, weddings, maternity, high fashion, and boudoir photography.

The NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S Lens delivers breathtaking realism with a dreamlike depth of field. Its f/1.2 aperture, shaped by 11 rounded blades, creates a smooth, natural blur, transforming point light sources into dreamlike orbs and out-of-focus areas into a painterly haze at f/2. This lens offers an intimate yet comfortable working distance and light telephoto compression, making it ideal for capturing authentic human expressions.

The lens's superior low-light performance is made possible by Nikon's larger Z mount, which increases the light gathering performance of the f/1.2 aperture. This feature allows you to shoot in near darkness, opening up a world of creative possibilities. The lens's Nano Crystal Coat (N) offers extraordinary tolerance to backlighting, glare, and flare, while Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) and Aspherical Lens Elements (AS) prevent color fringing and aberration.

The NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S Lens is part of Nikon's S-Line, known for its superb optics, beautiful bokeh, advanced video features, and premium weather sealing. The lens's autofocus system uses dual STM stepping motors for flawless precision, even when shooting wide open at f/1.2. The lens also features a manual focus ring for smooth, precise focus transitions, making it an excellent choice for video work.

The lens's advanced technology includes ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass, Aspherical Lens, IF Lens, A/M, Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism, and Nano Crystal Coat. These features work together to deliver outstanding resolution, capturing the fine textures of skin, hair, and fabric with lifelike precision.

In conclusion, the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S Lens, bundled with Hoya 82mm UV and CPL Filters, is a versatile and high-performing lens that is bound to become a legend among professionals in the field. It offers a combination of advanced features and superior build quality that sets it apart in the world of photography and videography.
