## Features

- 【Z Lens for Nikon Mirrorless Cameras】: 85mm F1.8 Manual Lens Compatible/Replacement for Nikon Z9 Z8 Z7 Z7II Z6 Z6II Z5 Z30 Z50 Zf Zfc Mirrorless Camera.
- 【Versatile Portrait Lens 85mm F1.8】: As a portrait lens, the 85mm lens makes it easy to take half- and full-body shots. It can also take close-ups of faces. Ideal for street photography. The large 1.8 aperture lens delivers fantastic background bokeh. Large aperture with pleasing bokeh to further enhance shallow depth-of-field images.
- 【User Instraction】: This is a FULL MANUAL lens, NO Electronic Contacts, your camera will not detect the lens when mounted, that's why it shows "Nither no lens is attached", please switch to "M" MODE or other mode to use this lens(we suggest to use in mode M). Tips to use our Manual Lens: 1) Attaching the lens to your Mirrorless Camera; 2) Change the shooting mode to M.
- 【Manual Focus】: Please rotate the focus ring of the lens to achieve focus. Manual camera lenses cannot display the aperture value in the camera. Regarding the adjustment of the aperture value, you can only do it by turning the aperture ring on our lenses. Shutter speed and ISO need to be adjusted to take a beautiful photo, so it is recommended to use it at "M". More shooting problems please contact us via desertcart for help.
- 【Note】: This is a manual lens, not an autofocus lens, so it's not suitable for snapshots as you need time to manually rotate the focus ring to focus. If you mind about this, please buy the original autofocus lens. Meanwhile, manual lenses all need to be used by buyers with shooting experience. This is because you need to manually adjust the ISO and shutter speed, otherwise you will get a dark or overexposed white photo.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a good old preset lens
*by A***R on 17 May 2025*

I've always loved the 85mm focal length on a 35mm camera and have owned a few over the years. This one reminds me of my old T2 mount Vivitar pre-set 85mm f1.8 that I used to own (in operation and optics) but in size is much closer to the old Nikon 85mm f2 (apart from filter size). I guess its a copy of someone elses design from the 60s/'70s etc but who knows. Anyway, it is pleasingly sharp in the centre and has a lovely shallow depth of field, so all as expected for an 85mm. Thumbs up from me, especially at the price! I Bought Nikon F Mount, but use on a Sony A7R as already had adaptor and who knows, maybe one day I might use it on my Nikon SLR if I could ever afford the film. As everyone says, remember its purely manual, no auto focus, no electronics at all, so manual Iris ( its what we used to call pre-set - ie you pre-set the iris before taking the picture - the camera doesn't/cannot do it) Dropped one star because: -Box says Nikon AI which it isn't of course as its a purely manual iris with no iris coupling to the body (non AI, AI or AIs). -Box says filter size 72mm - which it isn't as that is the front of the lens hood size - filter ring on lens is 55mm -Lens itself is not built like a tank, First lens I've ever seen that has a "springy barrel that physically moves the focus ring if you push it. (however it has a pleasing weight and fits nicely in the hand when mounted on camera) -Lens has a very quirky aperture ring that shows "f stops" of 1.8, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4.5, 6, 10, 22. Makes no sense at all as they are not one stop differences and aren't the usual 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22 that most lenses would have. Because its manual, this doesn't really matter too much, but bear in mind if you wanted to match the same settings as another lens that was using f5.6 or f8, then that wouldn't be easy.. (but TBH if you did need that level of professionalism you should really be using Cine lenses with T stops and not F stops anyway. -Lens shows some evidence of chromatic aberration in certain conditions eg black lines can go green/turquoise, if out of focus. (see attached image) None of the above would put me off this lens, especially at this price level. It's extremely good value, pleasing to use, quite characterful and just what you would expect from an 85mm on a full frame camera. On a 35mm film camera such as an SLR, I expect it would be frustrating as the viewfinder would go dark as you stop it down, and its probably not a good idea for those people who always use Autofocus, auto iris, stabilisation etc as it has none of them. But for someone who is used to doing everything manually (but doesn't have budget for branded lenses), or for someone who wants to learn and isn't afraid of experimenting, then this is a bargain and definitely not three bad.
