Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S Lens

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S is a premium full-frame short telephoto prime lens designed for Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. It has an 85mm focal length and a very fast maximum aperture of f/1.2, ideal for striking background separation, portrait photography, and shooting in low light. The lens features 15 optical elements in 10 groups, including one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and two aspherical elements with Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat to reduce ghosting and flare.

This lens belongs to Nikon’s S-Line, indicating top-tier optics and professional build quality with weather sealing. Autofocus is powered by dual stepping motors (STM) for fast, quiet, and accurate focusing, supporting eye-detection autofocus and providing smooth focus transitions. The aperture comprises 11 rounded blades for a creamy bokeh effect. Its minimum focus distance is approximately 0.85 meters, and it weighs about 1160 grams.

Key highlights include ultra-fast f/1.2 aperture for a paper-thin plane of focus and dreamy bokeh at f/2, excellent close-up sharpness, suppressed focus breathing, and durable construction suitable for professional use in various conditions.
