Nikon introduces a new fast standard lens for the Nikon Z family, which is particularly well suited to portraits. The NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S focuses quickly and can show sharp details across the entire image.
This full-frame lens for the Nikon Z series is suitable for both photos and videos. The bokeh looks beautiful and natural, and light spots are effectively suppressed even in backlit situations.
Fast autofocus
For Nikon Z cameras' new eye detection function, you need fast lenses. The Nikkor Z camera can remain focused on the eye of a subject, regardless of whether the subject is alone or a face in a crowd.
Videographers can use the 85mm focal length to isolate subjects and create video recordings with a shallow depth of field.
Matthieu van Vliet, General manager Nikon BeNeLux and France: The NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S is an incredibly versatile lens. Thanks to its fast multiple focusing system and large maximum aperture, you do not have to worry in difficult lighting conditions.
Whether you are shooting at an event, in the studio or outdoors, you have complete freedom to capture vivid portraits that are anything but ordinary.
Overview of key features
- Because this lens is designed for Nikon's large Z mount, you can capture more light across the entire image;
- S-Line: a new dimension in optical design. Anti-reflective Nano Crystal Coat. Smooth, silent and a multiple focusing system;
- Sharp details: beautiful performance from edge to edge. Minimum focusing distance of just 0.8 metres;
- Robust construction: every moving part of the lens barrel is sealed and protected against dust and water droplets;
- Useful for videos: silent aperture adjustment and virtually silent AF. Variation in focal length has virtually disappeared;
- Customisable control ring: can be used for manual focusing (standard), aperture control or exposure compensation.
