Introduction
[edit]On January 5, 2023, Nikon announced the development of the lens.[2] The lens was introduced on February 7, 2023, alongside the Nikkor Z 85 mm f/1.2 S.[3][4][5] According to Nikon, at the time of release, the lens was the slimmest autofocus full-frame lens for mirrorless cameras, and with only 125 g, the lightest amongst Nikkor Z lenses.[3] The lens comes with a bayonet-type lens hood (HB-111) and a dedicated slip-on lens cap (LC-K108), which can be attached to both the lens or the lens hood.[3][6] There is no filter thread on the lens, 52 mm filters can only be mounted on the lens hood.[6]
