The Nikon NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S is the definitive portrait prime for the Nikon Z system — an S-Line lens that combines the ultimate in bokeh rendering with the sharpness and colour accuracy that professional portrait, wedding, and fashion photographers demand. Shooting wide open at f/1.2 on a full-frame Z-mount body produces a depth-of-field and subject separation quality that f/1.4 and f/1.8 lenses simply cannot replicate, with a background rendering that is simultaneously smooth and full of three-dimensional character. The optical formula — 15 elements in 10 groups, including 3 aspherical and 2 ED elements, finished with Nano Crystal and ARNEO coatings — ensures that sharpness, contrast, and colour fidelity are maintained even at maximum aperture, with virtually no visible chromatic aberration or flare. The multi-focus autofocus system operates quickly and silently, with reliable eye-detection performance at f/1.2 for confident use in fast-paced portrait and event environments. Weather sealing and a customisable control ring complete the professional-grade package. Available at Foto Discount World, Pretoria — South Africa’s authorised Nikon stockist.
