    Fantastic improvement over already great Nikon 85mm-f/1.4g lens
    5 Stars
    Fantastic improvement over already great Nikon 85mm-f/1.4g lens
    I'm a portrait photographer, and this is the best lens I've 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 won't be in a hurry to get the 85mm f/1.2 lens when it comes out.

    Reviewed in India on April 3, 2022
    Superb lens for portrait photography as well as street photography with some telephoto elements to it. Lens is not too heavy and feels very premium quality.

    85mm focal length is too good.

    Build quality feels very premium which is expected as it's a prime series lens.

    Almost silent stepper motor while focusing on subjects.

    5.0 out of 5 stars NIKON Z 85mm, 1.8
    Reviewed in Germany on November 9, 2020
    Keine Frage, beim Nikon Z 85mm 1.8 handelt es sich um ein hervorragendes Objektiv. Es übertrifft das Nikkor 85mm AF 1.8 am FTZ-Adapter deutlich. Es ist ebenfalls besser als das Nikkor 85mm AF 1.8 direkt an einer Nikon D800. Wunderschönes Bokeh, enorme Schärfe, schneller Autofokus. Sehr schade, dass die Originalverpackung nicht versiegelt und das Objektiv offen in Noppenfolie verpackt war. Ziemlich offensichtlich ein Rückläufer – noch dazu mit einer leichten Kratzspur am Fokussierring (Siehe Foto). Da ich das Objektiv aber bereits am Tag nach der Zusendung dringend brauchte, habe ich es behalten – die Optik ist ansonsten einwandfrei. Volle Punktzahl für das Objektiv, Abzüge in diesem Fall für Amazon. Ein Verkauf als Rückläufer mit Rabatt wäre hier angemessen gewesen.
