Leaked online: new Yongnuo 85mm lens for Nikon Z-mount

By [NR] admin | Published: January 10, 2022

I already reported that Yongnuo will soon announce a new 50mm f/1.8 Z DF DSM full-frame mirrorless autofocus lens for Nikon Z-mount. I also believe the already leaked Yongnuo 20mm f/1.8 lens will also be available for Z-mount (both lenses pictured above).

There is now a third leaked Yongnuo 85mm lens for Nikon Z-mount (I assume it will be f/1.8):

In the US Yongnuo lenses are sold at Adorama, B&H, and Amazon.
