Maciej Latałło has just posted a full review of the newly released Nikon Nikkor Z 85mm F1.8 S Lens (Amazon/ B&H/ Adorama) at the Lenstip. He tested this new lens on Nikon Z7 and found it is excellent for Nikon full-frame mirrorless cameras.

So many pros and only one cons below:

Pros:

• solid, sealed casing, mostly made of metal,
• excellent image quality in the frame centre,
• good image quality on the edge of the APS-C/DX sensor,
• good image quality on the edge of full frame,
• moderate longitudinal chromatic aberration,
• practically zero lateral chromatic aberration,
• low spherical aberration,
• negligible distortion,
• moderate vignetting on the APS-C/DX sensor,
• lack of astigmatism related problems,
• silent and accurate autofocus,
• blurry areas pleasing to the eye.

Cons:

• distinct vignetting on full frame.

Below is the conclusion, “Despite the fact that the Nikkor Z 85 mm f/1.8 S fared a bit weaker in our test than the highly praised 50 mm lens, its excellent performance and a very long list of pros compared to just one position in the ‘cons’ section made us quite determined to award it our „Editors’ Choice” badge as well...”

Nikon Nikkor Z 85mm F1.8 S lens is now in stock and shipping in USA.
