Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S
This lens represents the pinnacle of Nikon’s Z-mount optics. It is built to capture the finest textures of skin and fabric while maintaining a dreamlike quality in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
Ultra-Fast f/1.2 Optics
Unrivaled Light Gathering: The massive f/1.2 aperture allows you to shoot in near-total darkness and provides extreme control over depth of field.
Exotic Bokeh: An 11-blade rounded diaphragm creates smooth, circular background highlights and creamy transitions. At f/2, point light sources are rendered as perfect, dreamlike orbs.
S-Line Optical Quality: Uses 2 Aspherical and 1 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) element to virtually eliminate distortion, coma, and chromatic aberrations, ensuring professional-grade clarity even at the edges of the frame.
Precision Focusing for Stills and Video
Multi-Focus System: Employs Dual STM (Stepping Motors) to move two focus groups simultaneously. This ensures the lens is fast, quiet, and highly accurate—even when the depth of field is at its shallowest.
Video Optimization: Designed with suppressed focus breathing and silent AF motors, making it ideal for dramatic, cinematic focus transitions.
Eye-Detect Compatible: Fully optimized for Nikon’s advanced subject tracking and Eye-Detect AF systems for pin-sharp portraits.
Professional Build and Coating
Nano Crystal Coat: An advanced anti-reflective coating that eliminates internal reflections and solves ghosting and flare caused by light entering the lens at diagonal angles.
Rugged Weather Sealing: The lens is extensively sealed against dust and moisture, allowing professionals to shoot on location in inclement weather with total confidence.
Customizable Controls: Includes a programmable Control Ring and a dedicated L-Fn (Lens Function) button. These can be mapped to aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, or AF lock to suit your specific shooting style.
