Customers are saying

Customers recognize the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S Telephoto Lens for Z Cameras as exceptionally sharp, producing images with pleasing bokeh and excellent portrait capabilities. Its lightweight design and robust build quality are also frequently praised. However, some customers find the cost to be a significant drawback. The lens's performance in portrait photography is consistently highlighted as a major strength.
