Features:

The prime portrait-length lens is designed for FX-format Z-mount mirrorless cameras.

Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects and working with selective focus.

Two extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and colour rendering.

A Nano Crystal Coat, along with a Super Integrated Coating, has been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting.

The Multi-focus system incorporates two separate AF drive units, which are synchronized, to deliver especially fast and accurate focusing performance. This system uses stepping motors, which offer impressively smooth and quiet autofocus qualities, that are well-suited to both stills and video applications.

Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster-focusing speeds.

Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust manual focus, but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.

Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.

Dust- and moisture-resistant lens barrel benefits the lens' use in inclement conditions.

FAQs

What types of photography are best suited for the Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S lens?

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S lens is particularly well-suited for portrait photography due to its focal length and wide maximum aperture, which create beautiful subject isolation and bokeh. However, it is also versatile enough for other types of photography, including weddings, events, and even product photography, where detail and clarity are essential.

How does the lens perform in low light conditions?

With its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, the NIKKOR Z 85mm lens excels in low light situations. This allows for faster shutter speeds while maintaining proper exposure, which is critical for capturing sharp images in dimly lit environments. Additionally, the lens's optical design minimizes flare and ghosting, further enhancing performance in challenging lighting.

What are the advantages of the lens's multi-focus system?

The multi-focus system of the NIKKOR Z 85mm lens incorporates two separate autofocus drive units that work in unison to achieve quick and precise focusing. This is particularly beneficial for capturing moving subjects or when shooting at wide apertures, as it enhances the accuracy of focus and reduces the risk of missed shots due to slow or inaccurate autofocus.

Can I use this lens for video recording?

What is the significance of the lens coatings like Nano Crystal Coat?

The Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating applied to the lens elements play a crucial role in enhancing image quality by minimizing reflections, flare, and ghosting. These coatings help ensure that you achieve high contrast and vibrant colours, even in difficult lighting conditions, which is essential for both professional and creative photography.

How does the programmable control ring enhance usability?

The programmable control ring on the NIKKOR Z 85mm lens can be customised to adjust manual focus, aperture, or exposure compensation, allowing for greater flexibility and control while shooting. This feature is particularly useful for photographers who want to quickly adapt their settings without taking their eyes off the subject or adjusting their grip on the camera.
