Nikon Z 85mm f/1.8 S Review

We have already reviewed the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 and Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4 full frame lenses for the new Nikon Z system cameras. Both were found to be exceptional performers, duly picking up the accolade of Editor's Choice.

Excellent Short Telephoto Lens

This lens benefits from the superior optical quality and design of the new Nikon Z system. Images have super sharpness, contrast, color rendition, and corner to corner exposure uniformity. The f/1.8 aperture makes for great portraits.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S Lens - Brand New review

The new Nikon Noct is exceptional in its build, image quality and aspiration. Undeniably big, heavy and expensive, it’s impractical for the majority of Z-camera shooters, but actually more practical than I’d imagined. Its image quality is stunning.

Once again, the same trend with the Nikon Z mount lenses continues. Each one of them, including the Nikon Z 85mm f/1.8 S, consistently out-perform their Nikon F equivalents, even when looking at expensive pro-level lenses like the Nikon 85mm f/1.4G.

Nikon Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S Review

The Nikon Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S is yet another excellent prime lens for the Z mirrorless system. The Nikon Z mirrorless lens mount is still relatively young, but a short telephoto prime is an important entry in the catalog. Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless take on the design is the Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S ($799.99). Its optics are stunning, with sharp results from edge to edge at the maximum aperture, and an f/1.8 design for a pleasingly shallow depth of field. The big third-party lensmakers, Sigma and Tamron, haven't yet jumped in to support the Z mount, so the 85mm f/1.8 S is currently the only real choice for Z owners, short of adapting SLR lenses. It's an excellent lens overall, especially for still photographers, but videographers may have a couple of complaints. Well Built, but That Control Ring… There's nothing flashy about Nikon's mirrorless lenses. The company has gone basic black for the aesthetics of most entries. The lens itself measures 3.9 by 3.0 inches (HD), weighs a little over a pound, and supports 67mm front filters. Nikon includes the standard front and ...

Nikon Nikkor Z 85 mm f/1.8 S

The only thing you can complain about is the price. The reflex camera model could be bought for less than $450 without any problems and the mirrorless device costs almost $800. The difference is really big, even after taking into account the fact that the novelty tax might be lowered after some time...
