    Very fast, great aubject separation. Use with Nikon Z5. Much less distortion than the 35mm i had been using. Tough to shoot in indoor spaces.

    I purchased this lens to use with my Nikon Z7. It’s very sharp. Actually sharper than my friends Sony 85mm 1.8. We tested it on a photo shoot and was very impressed. All I can say it’s a winner and you will not be disappointed.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
