    Classic view. Exotic aperture.

    Be prepared to capture every moment in amazing detail with the NIKKOR Z 85mm F/1.2 S lens by Nikon. This legendary lens is a must-have for any photo or video professional, and especially those who specialize in portraiture, weddings, maternity, high fashion, and boudoir. Captivate your audience with stunning realism that will make your visuals look dreamlike, while the background melts away into a soft bokeh foreground. The compression is beautiful too - creating a flattering effect on your subject.

    Cherished focal length.

    Unveil the magic of telephoto compression to uncover timeless images that reveal the narrative within. Capture authentic expressions and flatter your subject while keeping a comfortable working distance; or get up close and personal to capture the small intricacies and intimate moments – with the outstanding optical performance of this lens you will be able to do it all.

    Striking background separation.

    This lens provides breathtakingly beautiful photos with its thin f/1.2 plane of focus, perspective compression of 85mm, and intense sharpness creating a 3D effect for any subject. You can capture stunning portrait shots right through to everyday candids with exceptional clarity and detail.

    Bokeh beyond belief.

    With 11 rounded blades and a fast aperture of f/1.2, you’ll have the opportunity to take stunningly gorgeous photos with beautiful bokeh effects that blur background details into dreamy orbs while preserving your main focuses. When photographed at f/2, the point light sources will delicately transform into painterly haze, making your photos truly come alive.

    Low-light freedom.

    Its hugely advanced optical design is powered by a unique larger Z mount, increasing light gathering performance exponentially, so you can shoot thrilling photographs even in near darkness! With incredibly sharp optics, beautiful background bokeh, and a lens construction that reduces ghosting and flares, you’ll be taking stunning photos one after another.

    Embrace backlighting.

    Offering the equivalent of a 68mm focal length on full-frame cameras, it’s versatile enough for far more than tight-framed portraits, allowing for wide range of expressive opportunities with its maximum f/1.2 aperture that delivers excellent background separation and creamy bokeh effects. Natural backlighting often makes for coveted wedding shots, now add to that an extraordinary protection from glare and flaring thanks to Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat (N) element. Plus, you can easily sharpen colors without worrying about distortions common to bright lights with the Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) and Aspherical Lens Elements (AS).

    Z mount: Bigger. Better.

    With the world's largest diameter of any mirrorless system, the advanced Z mount provides a host of exciting advance capabilities that will take your photography to new heights. The larger rear elements allow for more light to reach the sensor, creating beautiful bokeh that gives your photographs an added touch of drama. This lens also suppresses focus breathing for smoother transitions in and out of focus areas and delivers faster camera-to-lens communication than ever before.

    Dramatic focus transitions

    Take your craft to a fully immersive experience with a linear focusing system that allows for controlled and accurate manual focus pulling. Make your photos stand out without worrying about focus breathing ruining the shot - this lens technology is designed to suppress it heavily. You can also take advantage of the responsive eye-detect Autofocus, which is designed to make sure you get a perfect shot every time! With near-silent operation, you can forget all your worries and focus on creating amazing photos.

    Autofocus as decisive as the moment.

    With Nikon’s Multi-Focus System, you can rest assured that your shots will be sharp, accurate and with improved clarity. Featuring dual STM stepping motors, this remarkable lens lets you make micro adjustments in even the tightest situations. And shooting wide open at f/1.2 offers unparalleled depth of field for added detail and background blur.

    Textures you can almost feel.

    This extraordinary lens is designed to maximize image resolution and quality, so you can bring your vision to life in stunning detail. With its superb resolution, this powerhouse lens effortlessly renders fine textures like skin, hair, and fabric with ultra-natural realism that makes every shot stand out.

    S-Line: The very best.

    With its S-Line optics, this lens is designed to deliver superior image sharpness, maximum optical performance and beautiful bokeh. Whether you're shooting landscapes or capturing memories, the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S ensures that every shot will be captured in glorious detail. You don't have to worry about dealing with harsh weather conditions either - this lens offers advanced weather sealing and professional build quality so it can withstand even the toughest elements. And for cinematic video projects, the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S also includes several helpful features such as smooth silent autofocus for precise results and smooth video autofocus simple tracking for dynamic motion shots.
