I just realized I did not create a 'Photos & Discussions' thread for this lens back when I bought it, so here it is
I do not take photos of people usually, so I did not use the AFS Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G that much, passing it to a family member when the Z system was announced.
I did not plan to buy the Z version initially, but was intrigued by its lack of aspherical elements, as well as its behavior on the Z50 (~125mm equiv.).
Since buying it I used it a few times and found it better that the F mount version in almost every way (for the things I photograph). I have not used it since August 2020 because of the new kid on the block (the 70-200mm f/2.8 S) on which I've spent almost all my Z time , but with the recent firmware update for this lens I mounted it on the Z6 and decided to keep it there for a little while...
