Key Features:

- Superior Bokeh: Smooth, creamy bokeh that enhances subject isolation, ideal for portraits, weddings, and lifestyle photography.

Designed for Beautiful Portraits:
The 85mm focal length is a favourite among portrait photographers for its ability to produce natural-looking images with flattering subject compression. Whether shooting tight headshots or full-body portraits, the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S excels at creating beautifully sharp images with soft, defocused backgrounds that make your subjects pop.
Brilliant Low-Light Performance:
The fast f/1.8 aperture provides greater creative control over depth of field and is ideal for low-light shooting. You’ll be able to achieve excellent image quality without having to raise the ISO, making it a great lens for indoor events, portraits at sunset, or evening street photography.
S-Line Optics for Precision:
Part of Nikon’s S-Line of lenses, this 85mm f/1.8 prime delivers next-level optical performance. The lens features advanced coatings like the Nano Crystal Coat, which significantly reduces flare and ghosting. This ensures that your images have vivid colours, rich contrast, and minimal aberrations, even when shooting in backlit situations or with multiple light sources in the frame.
Razor-Sharp Focus Across the Frame:
With its cutting-edge optical design, the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S offers exceptional sharpness from edge to edge. A minimum focus distance of 0.80m allows you to get close to your subject while still achieving brilliant clarity throughout the entire frame, making it perfect for capturing details in portraits.
Silent and Smooth for Video:
In addition to its superb still photography performance, this lens is great for videography. The near-silent multi-focusing system allows for smooth and discreet operation, while focus breathing is virtually eliminated, ensuring consistent framing during focus pulls. The silent aperture adjustment makes it easier to seamlessly transition between light conditions while recording, without causing distracting clicks or jumps in exposure.
Durable, Weather-Sealed Construction:
The NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S is built to withstand demanding conditions. Every movable part of the lens barrel is sealed to protect it from dust and moisture, making it suitable for shooting in a range of environments, from humid outdoor locations to dusty landscapes. This rugged design ensures reliability, no matter the weather.
Customisable Control Ring:
For added versatility, the lens features a customisable control ring, which can be configured to suit your shooting style. By default, the ring is set to manual focus, but it can be customised for aperture control or exposure compensation, giving you intuitive, hands-on control when you need it most.
