Features:


IDEAL LENS FOR PORTRAITS DEVELOPED WITH INTENSIVE CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO ELABORATE BOKEH CHARACTERISTICS
Maximizing the advantages of the Nikon Z mount system, outstanding optical performance that can create exquisite bokeh characteristics is achieved. In contrast with elaborate bokeh, resolution perception at the focal plane is remarkably emphasized to enable the capture of impressive portraits. With overwhelming rendering capability that overturns the perception of f/1.8 lenses, image expression in both stills and movies is greatly enriched.

OUTSTANDING OPTICAL PERFORMANCE THAT DELIVERS HIGH-QUALITY IMAGES IN DIVERSE SCENES
Peripheral illumination does not fall off drastically by receiving a sufficient light amount throughout the entire frame from the center, through middle areas, to the peripheral areas. Bright peripheral illumination can be retained even at the maximum aperture. This also contributes to creating soft and natural bokeh characteristics.

EASY-TO-OPERATE CONTROL RING TO WHICH VARIOUS FUNCTIONS CAN BE ASSIGNED
A control ring to which M/A*, aperture or exposure compensation can be assigned using the camera is incorporated. Assigning functions to the control ring provides new, smooth operability without using the main command dial or sub-command dial. Also, the control ring can be operated even when the lens hood is reversely attached.

S-LINE LENSES WITH NEW-DIMENSIONAL OPTICAL PERFORMANCE ACHIEVED WITH THE NIKON Z MOUNT
NIKKOR Z lenses are realized by combining the advantages of a large inner diameter and short flange focal distance thanks to the Z mount with the advanced optical technologies of NIKKOR lenses. The S-Line designation is reserved only for NIKKOR Z lenses that provide superior optical performance at a higher level. Every S-Line lens including the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S employs Nano Crystal Coat that is adopted for higher-class NIKKOR F lenses. Also, having cleared newly established standards in design principles and quality control that are even stricter than Nikon's conventional standards, S-Line lenses deliver resolution, bokeh characteristics, point-image reproduction, image quality at maximum aperture and uniform product quality, all of which are superior to those assumed for conventional lenses of the equivalent specifications.
