What sets the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S Lens for Nikon Z apart is its fusion of optical innovation and artistic precision, all elevated by the groundbreaking advancements of the Z mount. This premium S-Line lens offers a flattering perspective, breathtaking resolution, and stunning bokeh, making it an ideal choice for photographers specializing in portraits, headshots, fashion, weddings, and street photography. The NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S Lens is designed to capture the human form with lifelike accuracy and unwavering focus. It's a lens that will inspire and thrill, offering the highest quality in the expanding NIKKOR Z lens lineup. S-Line lenses are renowned for pushing Nikon's tradition of optical excellence and innovation to new heights, and this lens is no exception. With superior performance, sophisticated features, and specialized technologies, this lens takes full advantage of the monumental Nikon Z mount while adhering to the strictest image quality and build standards. The NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S Lens captures the natural beauty of subjects, particularly the human face, with breathtaking clarity and sharpness. The 85mm perspective is the sweet spot for portraits and fashion, rendering faces naturally and beautifully, free of distortion.

The NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S Lens also features the Z series' outstanding Eye-AF, ensuring your portraits and headshots will have tack-sharp focus right where you want it - on the eyes of your subject. The nine rounded aperture blades give defocused points of light a soft, round consistent shape, creating beautifully blurred backgrounds that naturally direct your viewer's eyes to the main subject. This lens is also great for video work in documentaries, interviews, B-roll footage, and more, thanks to its artistic qualities, natural perspective, quiet autofocus, and smooth aperture control. Use the customizable control ring to create smooth iris transitions, or let Auto Aperture Control adjust the iris during exposure changes. This bundle also includes a 67mm filter kit, a soft lens case, a lens cleaner, a cleaning kit, and a universal lens cap tether, providing you with all the essentials for maintaining and protecting your lens.

Crisp images.  Great price . Not heavy at all. Great product

Great product

Second sharpest lens I've ever used, surpassed only by the z50mm f1.8s lens. Great for portraiture and landscape. Beautiful bokeh, no noticeable aberration or falloff. A pleasure to use on the z9.

Nikon z85mm f1.8s lens

Smooth and fast.  Just like an Adorama purchase

It won't disappoint

I'm thrilled with this lens!  The images turn out looking beautiful, sharp and vibrant.  Very quiet and quick on any mode. The weight of it is easy enough to carry around with my Z 6II.

A Perfect Match.

Sharp and quick focusing, this lens excels in both sports and portraiture.

The 85mm I've Owned.

Headshots are a large part of my business and since transitioning into the Z system I was excited to get the 85mm 1.8 S lens and it did not disappoint.  I have never experienced a lens so ridiculously sharp at the widest aperture.  That kind of sharpness against the beautiful smooth bokeh is magic.  For a lens that performs this well and is compact, light weight and reasonably priced makes it a must have.

Another Great Z Lens

One of my favorite all time lenses! I definitely recommend this. Light weight and gorgeous quality.

Fantastic lens!

So good and sharp works seamlessly with my nikon z7ii

Awesome

Great Lens!  Moving from DSLR to a mix of Mirrorless/DSLR and bought this to replace my Nikon 85 1.8D.  The 1.8D had been perhaps my sharpest lens on my D800, but this lens on my Z's is an improvement in all areas.  Sharpness is outstanding edge to edge and distortion and vignetting are minimal or non existent.
I us these 85's for portraits and for photographing art work. Portraits with the Z 85 f/1.8 S are almost too sharp;)  For art work it is fantastic!

Great lens!  Sharp and excellent images!

The best lens I've ever used and/or purchased. Tack sharp, auto focus is super snappy on my Z6II. A great case for buying all Nikon z-mount glass until further notice.

The best portrait lens by a mile.

Excellent and very sharp lens for portraiture :)
I fully recommend it to any portrait photographer.

Amazing piece of glass.

This is a solid lens for portraits for a reasonable price, considering it falls into Nikon's S line of lenses. The bokeh is outstanding, and the focus is razor sharp if used properly. Eventually I may upgrade to the 85mm f1.2, since I bought this right before it was announced. But in the meantime, I'm more than happy to use this one on shoots.

A Must Have for Portraiture

Ett väldigt skarpt och gediget byggt objektiv.

I bought this lens a while ago and it hasn't left my camera sense. I'm obsessed with the sharpness; the bokeh, the quick auto focus. It's a wonderful lens and I couldn't recommend it more than I do 10/10

Buy it

This is my new baby. It is by far my favorite lens if I am photographing a singular person. The bokeh is phenomenal with that wide aperture. The lens itself is small enough and light enough to take on those fast photoshoots when you're running around downtown and have to move out of the street quick. I love it! Another great tool to keep in your camera bag!

My favorite lens for single person portraits.

I love the 85 mm focal length and with the Z lens I don't have to fuss with the FTZ adapter to get the shots that I want. Adorama always makes the shopping easy. Too easy sometimes :-)

A fast lens with all of the Nikon quality of image I have come to expect.

Nikon Still #1 for me!!

Great lens  extremely sharp Got it within two days

Extremely sharp

Great 85mm!

A VERY sharp lens, perfect for portraits, shoots with a nice smooth bokeh. It's fairly lightweight and would make a great lens for events photography.

Versatile and Sharp

If you shoot an 85, this one is perfect.

Must have

i upgraded my 2nd camera to z6ii and couldn't of made a better decision to add the 85mm Z mount. FAST and beautiful bokeh.

FAST with z6ii

FAST with Z mount z6ii

Great lens so far. One of my go to lenses for headshots.

Great lens

This has become my new favorite lens!! It produces sharp images from edge to edge while also allowing for stunning bokeh. Not bulky or heavy. Perfect portrait lens!

Excellent Portrait Lens for Z Series

Great Lens

I'm in love.  Portraits are absolutely flawless with this lens.  So happy I got this.
