Amazing lens. It balances well on the Z bodies; it´s fast, quiet, and super sharp. You can maintain a low profile and still get superior images. Most 1.4 lenses call attention to themselves, this lens may not be attention-grabbing, but the images are.

This is my first 85mm prime lens. I have the 35 and the 50 F1.8 Z mount lenses. I also have the 50mm F1.8 and 105mm F2.8 F mount lenses. I really like the rich colors and bokeh that I get with this lens. Images are sharp. Works well in low light with my Z7. I am pleased with this purchase.

Attached are two images. The Original is too big to upload here. Good detail retained from Original to medium to small crops sizes.

I purchased this 85mm to be the portrait lens for my Z6. It's stunning with portraits! Amazing, honestly. This lens will be with me for years. I've shot indoor sports at F1.8 several times and even outdoor sports in DX mode. Can't complain about anything. It's silent. It's sharp, even wide open.

I use my Z 85 1.8S for corporate head shots and it is easily the best lens I´ve used for portraits. It´s fast, sharp and renders beautiful colors.

I have been shooting for a week, mostly testing g the new firmware update (3.0) but simply, fast focus, extremely sharp, beautiful colors, light, balanced well for long shots. Simply amazing in all aspects. My only complaint, would be I dont have its f1.2 counterpart

Great lens. Sharp corner to corner. Very fast and excellent focusing. Very nice bouque.

So far so great. The lens produces nice sharp colorful images but my favorite thing about it is how light weight it is.

Extremely sharp, great bokeh, overall beautiful rendering. AF very quiet, faster than 1.8g counterpart.
