    Excellent travel and portrait prime

    Excellent prime lens. Very sharp. I picked this up for my Z6iii and am very pleased with it. Very light weight. Good for portraits and low light as well as when you want a light travel lens on the telephoto side. The focus ring is very easy to bump, so I had to turn it off in the camera settings for when the AF switch is set to A.

    Nice prime lens for hobbyists

    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.

    Excellent portrait Nikon Z lens

    Another excellent Z lens from Nikon. I find faster lenses much more expressive because I can control the depth of field. My subjects are mostly children. I mostly do videotaping because I get excellent quality if I snatch single frames. Not for enlargements but plenty sufficient for sharing. The attached picture of turkeys is fine JPEG cropped while the picture of a child is taken from a video that was videotaped at HD with 60FPS.

    Nikon quality at a Best Buy price

    I bought this for my new Nikon Z6 II. Excellent quality glass and takes fabulous pictures. I got this for a great deal at Best Buy and I’m so glad I purchased it there. The 85 mm lens is a great portrait lens and also for general photography.
