The Portrait King? NIKON Z 85mm f1.8 S Lens | Full Review

[@PavelSytko]

Your lens reviews are some of the best on KZbin! Looking forward to the review of the new Sony 85mm 1.4 GM II lens.

[@PavSZ]

Thank you so much! I'd love to review Sony 85mm GMII but Sony won't talk to me. If someone can lend me one for a week, I'll make that review straight away

[@fotostudyocan4]

Teşekkürler.

[@PavSZ]

thanks (whatever that means)

[@RichardServello]

I'm starting to look at mirrorless coming from DSLR and I'm thinking the Z6III is the way to go. I shoot mostly portraits, (natural and OCF) and seem to stick with 85mm but my AF-D lens won't work with AF on the Z lineup. So I was looking at this one. These shots look great and really make me confident it will be a great upgrade. BTW, I really appreciate you not detraining your shots.

[@PavSZ]

detraining?

[@gvz1538]

Pav, Nice video!! With the release of the Z6 III, are you thinking of switching from L-Mount to Z-Mount?

[@PavSZ]

Thanks! I wouldn't switch, I'd use both. I use Lumix as my main cameras but I also use Sony, Nikon, Fuji and Canon

[@gvz1538]

@@PavSZ Thanks Pav. Yes, I can tell Lumix is your main cameras; great work!!

Yeah this lens is a corker. It's kinda annoying really as I don't use it for weeks at a time, debate selling it, then pick it back up again and remember why I keep it around 😅 This and the 50mm f/1.8 S convinced me to ditch the zooms on Z mount and just go with these reasonably affordable primes, because they're _ridiculously_ good.

[@PavSZ]

they are ridiculously good

I just picked this lens up and a Nikon Zf. It’s great! My next lens is gonna be the 50 1.8 S. I shoot headshots. These Nikon lenses are amazing for price.

[@PavSZ]

they are insanely good for the price

[@georgedavall9449]

What a beauty @ 0:16! Eww @ 0:52 😯 WTH @ 1:44 ! 🙄 Great shot @ 4:42 😊 I have this lens and it’s fab! Great Stuff Pav !!!!!!! 👍

Pav, Sony dropped Shutter Angle this morning for Fx3 and the Fx30!!! 6.00 for Fx3 and 5.00 for Fx30

[@PavSZ]

how is this relevant to a Nikon lens review? asking for a friend

[@georgedavall9449]

Pav SZ is GOAT 🙂

[@Ansonandco]

These presets are sexy!

[@PavSZ]

aren't they just? 😉

[@TheMammothpl]

Only 85/1.2 :P

[@PavSZ]

only twice bigger and three times more expensive

[@roybixby6135]

The 85 f1.8 is a great lens but while the 85 f1.2 is around its not the King ...

[@KevinZJR]

470g？Oh come on Nikon, please make your lens lighter......Sony's 85mm f1.8 is 370g

[@fjaajf]

The optical performance is different. Despite of the f/1.8 aperture, it is a S-line lens (on par with G Master) meaning the weight is probably coming from quality glass.

Limp wristed sissy boi 😂

[@KevinZJR]

@@georgedavall9449 I know you're a porter.

[@PavSZ]

Sony is a budget friendly, cheap and chearfull 85mm, This lens is in a different class. 470g for 85mm is good
