Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

For a long time in the past, due to the specifications of the F card, Nikon interchangeable lenses lacked large aperture products that could compete with competitors. With the advent of Z bayonet with large diameter and short flange distance, the restriction no longer exists, and the specification and quality of Nikon interchangeable lens have been raised to a new height. Today, we usher in the third super-large aperture of the Z-bayonet lens: Nicole Z 85mm f / 1.2s.

Product Overview Nikonecker Z 85mm f / 1.2S (hereinafter referred to as Z 85super 1.2S) made its debut in January 2023 and was officially released on February 7. It is a Z-card section 2 f / 1.2 ultra-large aperture lens, as well as a 20-section S-line lens.

Z bayonet full frame | 10 groups of 15 structures | recent focus distance is about 0.85m | maximum magnification is about 0.11x | 11 circular apertures | 82mm filter aperture | φ 102.5mm × 141.5mm | about 1160g try to feel that the length of Z 85apace 1.2 S is about 141.5mm, almost catching up with the AF-S Nicole 300mmf / 4e PF ED VR (about 147.5mm) of F bayonet. This is probably because Nikon chose the "multi-focus" design, in which two sets of stepper motors are used to drive the corresponding lens group. Although this will increase the number of lenses and optical length, but compared with multiple groups of lenses in overall focus + ring ultrasonic motor, not only the focusing response speed is faster, but also the overall weight can be well controlled. As a result, the weight of Z85amp 1.2 S is not exaggerated, and it may even create the illusion that the weight is lower than the actual weight because of its larger size.

In optical design, Z85Comp1.2 S applies Nikon's concept of "3D Hi-Fi", that is, to achieve a balance between focus resolution, out-of-focus virtualization and transition region. Perhaps for this reason, Nikon is very restrained in the use of aspheric surfaces and ED lenses, and MTF is not so prominent. From the point of view of the actual shooting performance, Z 85max 1.2 S does achieve out-of-focus softness and natural transition, which is very necessary for a person to take a camera. On the Nikon Z 9, the focus part also has a very high resolution, delicate but not "stupid" kind.

The detail magnification of ▲ is still too cruel for the model, so this article will only appear once.

* lenses developed based on the 3D Hi-Fi concept and shots based on this concept include AF-S Nicole 58mm f / 1.4G and AF-S Nicole 105mm f / 1.4e ED. At the same time, this concept could lead to a Nikon technology that has not been mentioned for a long time: OPTIA optical properties and image analysis system. If you are interested, ET will collect some information for you.

However, it came as a surprise to me that the 85jet 1.2 S only had nanocrystalline coatings instead of ARNEO antireflective HD coatings. Even if there are no ghosts and glare in the actual shooting, this almost standard feature of the S-line lens should not have been absent from this "pillar" product.

F / 1.2 S also lacks information panels and independent control loops. Although this will not have much impact on the use, it will still make people feel that something is missing.

Summary the launch of Z 85gam1.2 S not only provides a more powerful tool for portrait photographers who use Z bayonet, but also sets a new goal for equipment enthusiasts. Its picture quality performance can meet (and exceed) the requirements of the vast majority of users, and the shortcomings I mentioned above are just nitpicking. Before there are no other products in Z bayonet, Z 85 Universe 1.2 S is undoubtedly the best partner of Z 7 series and Z 9.

When you mention 85Lime 1.4 and Nikon, you naturally think of @ listening to Uncle Lan. In the era of the rise of digital photography and network communication, his article "the beginning and the end-- NikkorAF 85max 1.4D" successfully released poison to many netizens and became an opportunity for many users to choose the Nikon camp. This experience is very short, and thanks to @ listening to Uncle Lan for helping us complete the live shooting of Nicole Z 85mm f / 1.2S under a very tight schedule. As soon as an expert makes a move, he knows whether he has it or not. More than a dozen pictures cover all kinds of scenes, such as blurring, backlighting, point light, close-up, half-body, whole body and so on. And the first thing he talked about when he discussed this shot with me after the trial shoot was the transition to nature.

I hope the above content can provide some reference for you to understand Nikon Z 85compan 1.2 S.
