Key Features
Beautiful background blur: the fast f/1.2 aperture is shaped by 11 rounded blades, more than most lenses, for smoother, rounder, more natural blur.
Dramatic focus transitions: Enable linear focusing with Z 9, Z 7II, and Z 6II for controlled, accurate manual focus pulling, or let the camera do the work with near-silent Eye-Detect AF.
Camera compatibility: Compatible with Full Frame/FX format and APS-C size/DX format Nikon Z series mirrorless (on APS-C size cameras, the lens has a 35mm equivalent field of view of 128mm).
Striking background separation: A paper-thin f/1.2 plane of focus, the flattering perspective compression of 85mm and the intense sharpness of this lens create a three-dimensional effect that immediately commands attention.
Exacting Control: Activate subject tracking, image playback, AF Lock and more from the L-Fn button; manually adjust aperture, ISO or exposure compensation with the Control Ring

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Produces beautiful, natural background blur thanks to its fast f/1.2 aperture and 11 rounded blades, creating smooth bokeh.
- Offers dramatic focus transitions, with linear focusing on Z 9, Z 7II, and Z 6II, or near-silent Eye-Detect AF for precise subject tracking.
- Creates striking background separation with its paper-thin f/1.2 plane of focus, 85mm perspective, and intense sharpness for a three-dimensional effect.
- Highly compatible with both Full Frame/FX format and APS-C size/DX format Nikon Z series mirrorless cameras, offering versatility.
- Provides exacting control with a customizable L-Fn button for subject tracking, image playback, and AF Lock, plus a Control Ring for manual adjustments.
👎 Cons
- As a renewed product, it might not offer the same "brand new" assurance as a factory-sealed item, though it should function perfectly.
- The f/1.2 aperture, while excellent, results in a very shallow depth of field, which can be challenging to achieve precise focus with, especially for beginners.
- The 85mm focal length is highly specialized for portraits, making it less versatile for general photography or wide-angle shots.
- Requires a Nikon Z series mirrorless camera for compatibility, meaning it cannot be used with Nikon's F-mount DSLRs.
- The specific details regarding what constitutes "renewed" (e.g., who renewed it, extent of refurbishment) are not provided, which some buyers may desire.
