With the move to mirrorless, Nikon has mostly concentrated on f/4 zooms and f/1.8 primes—at least initially, anyway. This is in contrast to Canon's approach, with high-speed lenses designed to attract the attention of professional users. Be that as it may...
Focal length: 85mm, Maximum aperture: f/1.8, Minimum aperture: f/16,
Not f/1.4, High price for an 85mm f/1.8 lens
The Nikon Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S is an uncomplicated lens that can be used in all weathers and delivers the type of results that you hope for from a first-rate portrait lens. It gets the focus point sharp and renders out of focus areas nice and smooth.It's...

solid, sealed casing, mostly made of metal, excellent image quality in the frame centre, good image quality on the edge of the APSC/DX sensor, good image quality on the edge of full frame, moderate longitudinal chromatic aberration, practically zero later

Could be lighter, Could be cheaper, Doesn't go down to f/1.4
With amazing image quality and impressive centre sharpness, we fell in love with the Nikon Z 85mm f/1.8 S. With minimal distortion, this would make the perfect portrait lens for any wedding, portrait or event photographer. While it would have been nice if...
Abstract: A stunning addition to Nikon's mirrorless Z system, this is a superb portrait lens with the classic 85mm focal length, where it stands out among some very tough competition. As Nikon's best 85mm lens to date, it performs admirably at f/1.8, with just the...
The Z 85mm f/1.8 S is a practical prime lens, capable of producing very attractive images paired with Nikon Z series cameras. It has a fairly long barrel, but this allows it to offer a large control ring and provides plenty for you to rest in your palm wh...
Compact design, Very sharp, Great bokeh, Weather sealed, Fair price
Autofocus suffers when underexposing with exposure preview on
Yes. While $800 isn't exactly cheap for an f/1.8 aperture, it is a good price for a premium portrait lens — and that's what the Z 85mm f/1.8 S is.Editors' RecommendationsSigma 20mm F1.4 Art review: More than a landscape lens Lensbaby Velvet 28 review: Mee...
