NIKON NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S Portrait Fast Prime Lens for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

Very sharp even wide open. No purple fringing or flare. A new standard. Optically, it is as sharp as my Rokinon 135mm F2. Color saturation is also comparable.

The lens seems great and as expected! Nice bokeh. Only docked one star because it appears to be Australian from the warranty. Which I don’t think affects the warranty but if buying in North America it would be expected to get one intended for North America I think? Also Amazon can’t even be bothered to use any packing materials for a $900+ purchase. No added protection at all. Mind blowing.

works amazing with the z6ii super fast focusing and excellent sharp results

This lens is bitingly sharp. Colour and contrast are excellent, chromatic aberration is negligible. It is excellent for portraits and as a mid range lens for general photography. I was not disappointed with it.

I love F1. 8

Over the years I have used many, many short telephoto lenses and this one simply takes the cake as my favorite. Its tempting to think of this only as a portrait lens -- and it *shines* in that role (more in a bit) -- but this is a jack-of-all-trades that can be used for landscapes, cityscapes, event shooting, concerts, etc. etc. etc. Autofocus is quick and accurate on my Z7. Optically, the lens is stellar. Its just a joy to use.

Aunque es tentador comprar un lente de otra marca, si puedes permitirtelo, este lente se paga solo con el tiempo y la calidad excepcional de cada foto.

Bottom line is that you get beautiful portraits with this lens, I found many of the on-line reviews a bit beside the point. This lens focuses very quickly and produces nicely balanced and charming images. (And yes, if you like creamy bokeh, this has it in spades.)

Im a portrait photographer, and this is the best lens Ive used. Better than the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G I used before switching to mirrorless, and that was a great lens. The lens is razor sharp from center to corners. I wont be in a hurry to get the 85mm f/1.2 lens when it comes out.

This is my favorite lens, sharp and fast focusing. Thanks amazon.de for the relatively fast delivery.
