Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S

Name: NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S
Brand: Nikon
Availability: InStock

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S is a landmark portrait prime — combining the classic 85mm focal length with a large f/1.2 maximum aperture that delivers breathtaking subject separation, silky smooth bokeh, and a level of three-dimensional rendering that no f/1.8 can match. Built to the highest S-line specification with multi-focus AF and full weather sealing.

GearFrame's Take

A portrait lens of the highest order — f/1.2 subject separation and three-dimensional rendering that is simply unmatched in the Z system.
