Photography Life Review Summary: Simply put, there is a lot to like about the Nikon Z 85mm f/1.8 S. Aside from its insane sharpness, the lens shows very good bokeh that looks even better than on the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G. Contrast and color are superb, as expected from a professional-grade Nikon lens. The lens has some vignetting, but post-processing software like Lightroom takes care of it upon import automatically. Ghosting and flare are controlled well, thanks to Nikon's excellent coatings. There is practically no distortion to worry about. Both lateral and longitudinal chromatic aberration are under control, even at maximum aperture. It is a relatively small, lightweight and weather-sealed lens, and its autofocus motor is fast, silent and very accurate. Read the full Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S Review by Photography Life.
