Nikon Z 85mm f/1.2 S
£TBA/$TBA www.nikon.co.uk
A new Z 85mm S-line has been on Nikon’s Z-system lens roadmap for quite some time, and while we’ve long-suspected that it will be an f/1.2 optic, this detail hasn’t been confirmed until now. The first pre-production sample of the lens was unveiled at January’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, USA, and will be joining Nikon’s existing Z 50mm f/1.2 S as a fully professional portrait lens for use in the studio. It is one stop faster than the company’s previously released Z 85mm f/1.8 S lens.
Certain to be in demand from portrait professionals, this fast mid-telephoto prime lens promises superior rendering performance, as well as great subject separation and beautiful bokeh.
