Press release:

Nikon is developing the NIKKOR Z 85MM F/1.2 S, a fast mid-telephoto prime lens, and the NIKKOR Z 26mm f/2.8, a slim wide-angle prime lens for the Nikon Z mount system

LAS VEGAS-CES Booth #17914 (January 4th 2023) – Nikon Inc. is pleased to announce the development of the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S, a fast mid-telephoto prime lens, and the NIKKOR Z 26mm f/2.8, a slim wide-angle prime lens, for full-frame (FX-format) Nikon Z series mirrorless cameras.

The NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S is part of the S-Line1 NIKKOR Z lens series, and realizes both superior rendering performance and large, beautiful bokeh. It expands possibilities for users capturing portraits in areas such as weddings and fashion.

The NIKKOR Z 26mm f/2.8 achieves outstanding slimness and lightness, as well as high rendering performance, making it an ideal lens for advanced amateur photographers who take their camera everywhere so as not to miss a moment.

Nikon will continue to pursue a new dimension in optical performance while meeting users' needs, contributing to the development of imaging culture, with the hope of expanding possibilities for imaging expression.

These lenses will be displayed at Nikon’s booth (Central Hall #17914) at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from January 5-8, 2023.

With the release of the all new Nikkor Z 85mm f1.2 S Line lens, Nikon has brought to market arguably the bet 85mm lens available.  Beautiful bokeh, sharp, great colors and blazing fast autofocusing paired with the Nikon Z9.  The Nikkor Z 85mm f1.2 S lens will be ideal for many who are looking for a portraiture lens, or even for product photography.

Joe and I hit the street with the 85mm 1.2 x 2 the Z8 and Z9 to see what we can capture in a few hours.  Here we can see the importance of good cinematic B-Roll, how much extra it brings to a piece, the beautiful bokeh in every image, and why actually demonstrating this masterpiece lens, is so much better than talking about it.

  • 02:55 UFO points !?!
  • 03:12 The Importance of B-Roll
  • 04:10 Joe loves his 85 1.2
  • 04:20 You can shoot in any conditions with the 85mm 1.2
  • 05:10 When did they start designing the 85mm 1.2?
  • 05:45 How many lenses have been thought about so far?
  • 07:05 Lets Talk 85mm 1.4 G
  • 07:50 Filming Speed Skating on the 85mm 1.2 S
  • 08:55 B-Roll interlude
  • 09:15 Can you get every shot on the 85mm?
