Nikonland (Google translation) published their first hands-on review of the new Nikon Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S lens (warning: NSFW sample photo present in the review):
- The lens is made of magnesium and polycarbonate alloy, similar to the twin 50mm f/1.8 S
- Made in China
- The optical scheme is complex and includes two ED (and no aspherical) lenses
- The diaphragm has nine blades
- It is built with tight gaskets
- The chromatic aberration of the older versions has almost completely disappeared
- The new Z lenses represent much more than the current Z bodies
- Has integrated the Nikon multifocusing device (there are two focusing motors that work in sync by moving different optical groups) for precision focusing at any distance
- “The results are convincing, concrete and professional”
