NIKKOR Z 85mm f1.2 S
The NIKKOR Z 85mm f1.2 S is a fast, medium-telephoto lens that is perfect for portrait, wedding, and event photography.

Additionally, the lens has a rounded 11-blade diaphragm that creates natural-looking out-of-focus elements in your images.
The lens also includes several advanced technologies, such as Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat, which helps to minimize ghosting and flare, as well as a customizable control ring that lets you adjust the focus, aperture, or ISO. The NIKKOR Z 85mm f1.2 S is also weather-sealed, making it ideal for use in harsh conditions.
