  1. Naturelover

    Great lens to get detailed, clear, close ups of plants and insects!

  2. Jess

    I love this lens. Highly recommend it for portraits. The bokeh is great wide open. You will not be disappointed with this lens.

  3. MichaelS

    You will be hard pressed to buy a better 85mm lens than this one. Very sharp and corner to corner sharpness is really good! Another fine prime Z lens from Nikon.

  4. Marne

    I have shot Nikon lens for over 45 years. The Z lens has to be one of the sharpest I’ve ever owned. Fast focus, even in continuous focus mode. Glad I’ve made the change. I also own the FTZ adapter with prime lens from my D750 camera. They are good but not as fast or sharp as my Z lens.

  5. Luke

    A necessary lens for the Z series cameras.
    Excellent portrait shots and sharp photos. The only con on this, I would say, is the price. However, it is built tough, and the facial recognition with this lens works great. Overall it is a great prime lens. If you are a portrait photographer would highly recommend this lens.

  6. Sail

    This lens is better than my older f mount 1.4 85mm. It lets in so much light on the z6. The lowlight performance and bokeh on this lens is crazy.

  7. Image7media

    AF accuracy and speed is excellent, bokeh is beautiful and sharpness is super. Great leans. Faster and clearer than my nikon 85mm f1.8 with the ftz adapter. Nikon is back as the leader with the new Z line and S lenses. I pair mine with the equally exceptional 14-30/4 zoom, which on my Z6ii makes for a fantastic two lens kit for travel and backpacking. Highly recommended.

  8. Roro

    Love this! Great product, love everything from Nikon.

  9. JinOk

    This has become my favorite of the two lenses I purchased with the Z6II. The aperture is great and creates a better depth of field than the 24-200 I also purchased. Loving the mirrorless overall.

  10. Nerazzurro

    Tack sharp even at 1.8. I just wish it wasn’t that long compared to the older G version

  11. SRKom

    Excellent lens with sharp images and I would recommend for portrait photography.

  12. Photo14

    Love this lens
    Images are extremely sharp
    Light weight

  13. AlexisLunsford

    Amazing, so tack sharp paired with my Nikon 6ii. The blur is also so beautiful!

  14. Rynecoop

    Amazing photos from this lens. I love the 85mm perspective. All the photos ive taken on this are amazing.

  15. Jack

    Wonderful general purpose and portrait lens. Easy to use and practical size. It is the lens that stays on the camera body.

  16. COwens

    Very sharp lens. Excellent portrait lens. A little high in price, but excellent product. Very light lens as well.

  17. SteveBeck

    This lens is PERFECT headshot or upper body portraits. It is very sharp and the bokeh is better than my older Nikon 85mm F 1.4. The z mount is a WONDER of a mount.

  18. Abraham

    My favorite lens ever,it doesn’t leave my camera since the first time I used it ,super sharp lens ,maybe too sharp for some people

  19. Mcb7

    Excellent lens with a 1.8 aperture. Would definitely recommend.

  20. TimelordX

    Awesome Lens at a descent price. Does exactly what I needed it for.

  21. KirkUSOne

    Excellent lens for headshots and portraits. Tack sharp mated to my Nikon Z6II. Nice build quality. Highly recommend it if you need this focal range.

  22. BrandNew

    Still learning to become a better photographer, but this lens has made the process much easier

  23. Gilbert

    Really sharp and fast lens to pair with my Nikon Z 6ii. i use it as a portrait lens and get great looking shots from Nikon Z , S serries lenses

  24. Carl

    Excellent lens. Beautiful crisp photos and amazing bokeh.

  25. Unknown

    Excellent lense and quality. The pictures are sharp and portraits are amazing.

  26. JohnM

    This lens is amazing for portraits. The sharpness is excellent. The bokeh is beautiful. Very solid build. I’ve seen complaints about the lack of a manual/auto focus switch but the focusing on my Z5 has been spot on so I don’t mind.

  27. Rich100

    This is one of the best lens I have ever had. Great design.

  28. KirtiG

    I love this! It produces a beautiful, creamy background. I shoot weddings and families.

  33. MinFL

    Good value. Excellent for family portraits when traveling.

  34. Naso

    Great lens but expensive. I think Nikon should make cheaper lenses

  35. btwells72

    I can’t afford the f/1.2 so this works excellent for me 🙂 Switched to Z series and this is the first Z-mount lens I bought so I don’t need to use the FTZ adapter. Really impressed, at least for the hobby shots that I do. Pros will likely want the faster prime, but looks like it’s sold out 🙂 Tried to upload photos taken with the lens, but Best Buy’s review platform won’t allow files larger than 10MB, and I don’t have the time to adjust file size, so here are some pics with the lens (w and w/out lens hood) attached to the Z7II from iPhone.

  36. AndresG

    Since this lens came, I just fall in love…
    Its perfect for my portraits and senior pictures.
    The 1.8 works perfect with my z5 and z6ii

  37. RafaelM

    Excelent lens , one of the best N beautiful , light, conform and easy to use,

  38. JoeD

    This is an amazing portrait lens for my Z6! Cannot be beat for the price.

  39. PhillipT

    This is a very solid lens with good optics and build quality for a 1.8 85mm. Highly recommended.

  40. Soncat

    Awesome! Very sharp lens. I will recommend this lens.

  41. AllieB

    We were recommended to get this, so we could start our business. We have been really pleased with how the pictures have a coming out. So glad we decided to get this.

  42. ValerieM

    Incredibly smooth AF and a superior lens. I have been using Nikon’s previous F-mount 85mm for the last 6 years and, as a headshot photographer, it has been a staple in my kit. I was interested to see if this improved at all in comparison to its predecessor and WOW it did. While the old 85 still holds up quality wise, it sounded *crunchy* using the FTZ adaptor on my Nikon Z6ii. It worked, but there was quite a bit of focus breathing if I was using continuous focus mode. This is one is near silent, and it locks on SO quickly. Additionally, while I was still pleased with the crispness of the previous 85, this one packs that little extra oomph and the focus almost never misses (likely any misses are due to my errors rather than the lens’s). Also, as with most 85s, the bokeh is creamy and gorgeous. The photo is a very zoomed in, unedited headshot to show you just how insanely detailed the skin is

    In summation, it’s faster, quieter, and better quality than its predecessor. I highly recommend this lens.

  43. Best

    Super sharp and built in resistant materials. Very good image quality

  44. Betty

    This is a Great lens for portrait, highly recommend!

  45. Surprisinglyawesome

    It’s a beautiful lens all around, look design, weight etc…just isn’t as crisp in the outer edges of the pictures as some higher pixeled cameras or lenses it’s competing with

  46. Stephanie

    OMGOODNESS!!! Beautiful subject sharpness and bokeh!

  47. Domo

    amazing quality, super lite, very clean sharp images

  48. Unknown

    Used this lens for photos of people indoors and outdoors. It does offer very good quality and contrast results. So far no complain of it.

  49. AnthonyfS

    exceptional sharp portrait lense. The weight an construction paired with the new z mirrorless system makes it a solid start into photography especially for portraits an street photography

  50. JennaW

    This lens is fixed, but the qualit6 is so good that even cropping will give you a wide range of editing options with that pro quality.
