A reasonably priced portrait lens for Nikon full-frame mirrorless cameras. Belonging to the guard of portrait optics, the model gives out a focal length of 85 mm, supported by a high aperture of f / 1.8. It is noteworthy that the use of aspherical lenses was abandoned in the optical design of the lens, due to which the Nikon 85mm f / 1.8 S Nikkor Z boasts a soft rendering of bokeh.
To guard against chromatic aberrations in the optical formula of the model, two ED-elements (made of low dispersion glass) are placed. Also in the portrait lens, an anti-reflective nanocrystalline coating of Nano Crystal Coat lenses is used. Another interesting feature of the model's character is a customizable ring on the body, which is assigned for sharpening, controlling aperture or exposure compensation. To focus from a distance of 80 cm, the lens uses a stepper motor. It smoothly and silently aims at the required targets in the frame. The model will fit filters with a diameter of 67 mm. The weight of the "carcass" of the camera lens makes it heavier by about 470 g.

The first swallow from the portrait optics league for the Nikon Z mount “flew out of the nest” in 2019. This is a classic 85mm f/1.8 prime with a 9-blade aperture design.
Classics of the portrait genre
The sharpness of the lens for portrait photography is manifested by a spectacular blurring of the background, which can be achieved with open apertures. At the same time, small objects in the blur zone turn into smooth discs that are pleasant to the eye, thus creating soft and beautiful bokeh. And most importantly, already from f / 1.8 aperture, the fixed lens draws a razor-sharp picture.
Optical design
The optical formula of the model according to the scheme "12 elements in 9 groups" provides for two ED-lenses made of low dispersion glass, put on guard to eliminate aberrations. The lens also uses Nano Crystal Coat anti-reflective lens coating. As for the other "guts", it's a sin not to mention the fast and silent ultrasonic autofocus drive with a targeting distance of 80 cm.
custom ring
Like many peers in the system, the lens has a customizable electronic ring. In addition to manual focus, it can be used to change the aperture or exposure compensation, which is set through the camera menu. The model is devoid of serious flaws and definitely deserves attention from owners of full-frame cameras of the Nikon Z system.
