p.1 #1 · Nikon 85/1.2 S image thread


Z9 85/1.2 S @ f1.2 - 1/160 - ISO 4800 (High ISO evening shots)

Shots unretouched but cropped and sacles up.

You can shoot whichever you wish with the 85 focal. But for the majority of photographers. This is a Portrait lens.

Any lens with 11 round blades is bound to produce a creamy Bokeh!!!

And just to annoy the Ohh so clever Youtube reviewers. Maybe I will be testing side by side 50/1.2 S - 85/1.2 S - 105/1.4 - 200/2 VII.

Finally this is my paid lens which should be officially delivered next week as originally due March 15.

Z9 + 85mm f1.2 S @ f1.2

The lens is truly a keeper, very sharp, fast focusing, super nice bokeh.

Cheers,
Bernard

Took you long enough! You've had it for a day and I've been waiting with my foot tapping!! 😁

As you say, sharp and lovely bokeh! I am definitely going to get one, just got to wait for it to come down in price once we get street pricing.

Few non-scientific "test shot, render sample" images comparing 85 1.2S to 58 noct. Put in LR and exported as smaller jpg. 2nd images are Noct.

So much bokeh you can't even see the ass of the bird, that's actually pretty cool. This might even get more use than my 135GM in the bokeh department.

The .95 Z Noct appears appears sharper at the focal point plus better colors or is it my eyes?

The colors right out of the camera are far better to my eyes on the noct. Sharpness is hard to judge because those are small jpgs. It seems pretty equal on the raw files though.

Thank you, that's what I thought as well even on these compressed files.

The Noct images appear to come out a little warmer than the 85. Both have outstanding rendering... thanks for posting.

Hello, long time lurker but only just joined up.

Received my 85/1.2 today, how is everyone getting on with the AF? Trying to recreate a photo ( under crappy LED lights so not really a good photo TBH ) I took with an R5 and RF85 about 2 years ago when I loaned one and I have to say the Z9 seemed to struggle. Maybe I need to play more with AF settings but only 30% or so were actually in focus.

When it hits it's lovely and sharp though. Need to use it some more but slightly underwhelmed so far.

AF has been great so far, perhaps you could share details about the scene you were trying to capture?

I have a shot request....how about some shots of dogs running towards you shooting at f1.2... Your kids running towards you shooting at f1.2. My plan is to use this lens for sports (ie, mountain biking in the woods).

I have taken many similar images with my Z9 in various AF modes, often 3D tracking and it typically nails focus in 95% of the cases. I haven't tried the 85mm f1.2 S for similar images though.

Cheers,
Bernard
