I don't think it is from what I can see. The hair down by her collar, the hair on her forehead and the collar itself seem to be on a similar focal plane to the eyes and eyebrows. It's hard to make a judgement on the eyes as the camera is looking through the lenses of the glasses which would alter the focus to possibly the lens of the glasses itself? It's a difficult one as I am thinking the lenses of the glasses may affect the AF. I mean, the eyes look pretty much in focus, but we would need to pixel peep to see where the exact focus was.
There's nothing sharp in any of these photos at f/1.2.
If you compare it to the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2, this lens is just ... well piss poor. Even 3 .years later.
The sharpness isn't there at the focal point (which could be from the poor autofocus on the Z series rather than the lens). The rendering of the out of focus areas isn't smooth at all compared to the Canon. The images don't pop at all. They're lifeless.

Another clinical Chinese lens from Nikon.
What a shame.
As an owner of the 85mm f1.2 S, the sharpness wide open at f1.2 is nothing short of outstanding.

Poor guy..........judging the lens based few test shots here...... Canon? Canon who? You meant Sony, right? We know Sony is the shit...
I picked up my copy today and my first impression was that without the hood, the lens actually does not look all that big and the weight is ok. Must be all that lifting 50/1.2S with Z9 regularly that make me think this
I took a few snapshots today just to see what it can do.

Some cropping to get rid off some annoying stuffs on the edge of the picture on both sides.
I was focusing on the bicycle guy. A little girl running was a bonus. the good news is that with slow moving bicycle toward me, 85/1.2S on Z9 did not have any problem tracking the guy and 100% of the shots were all in focus. 1/1250, f1.2, iso 64.

Your posts suck. No one wants to read them. Absorb this knowledge. Change your behavior.

You are absolutely right, this lens has to be the least sharp lens I own. And the OOF rendering is just horrible, it's like someone has taken sandpaper to the real element, just so so bad.
OK so no idea what was going on with the lens yesterday, focus was all over the place. Today I have had zero issues with focus, and the only thing that changed was I took out the memory card to get photos off yesterday, and took the lens off the body and put it back on this morning. Not having any inconsistency issues at all today. In fact, I think this is about to replace the cream machine as my favourite lens ever.
.... Canon? Canon who? You meant Sony, right? We know Sony is the shit...
