Nikon has announced two new lenses for the Nikon Z system today. They are the Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.2 S and the Nikkor Z 26mm f/2.8 pancake.

Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.2 S

The new 85mm is a high-end portrait lens and is also part of Nikon's 'S' line. At f/1.2, you can shoot portraits with beautifully smooth bokeh (background blur).

The lens has 11 aperture blades. You can focus from 0.85 metres.

The new 23mm pancake is, as the name makes clear, very flat. It is just 23.5 millimetres thick and weighs 125 grams.

That makes this lens handy when you want to travel light. Nikon recommends using the lens for street photography or making vlogs, for example.

There is also a configurable control ring, which you can use to select your aperture, for example.

Both lenses will go on sale at the beginning of March. You will pay 589 euros for the 26mm, while the 85mm will cost a hefty 3,349 euros.
