DxOMark posted their review of the Nikon Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.8 S lens – here is their conclusion: Modern short teles like this one rarely display any noticeable distortion, and indeed, this lens has only a very small amount (measured at 0.1%). With two ED elements, it has very well controlled levels of lateral chromatic aberration at all apertures and the lens has low vignetting (just -1.1 EV) at the maximum aperture. It also has excellent transmission, measured at 1.9 TStop. Overall, this Nikkor lens is a top-tier performer which can rival more expensive models in optical quality. Be that as it may, from our tests the Nikkor Z 85mm F1.8 S is certainly a well-corrected lens with excellent sharpness at all apertures. Although the price might look a little precipitous for an f/1.8 lens, it ranks alongside the best from Zeiss, Canon, and Sony and is one of the finest fixed focal length primes available at any price.
