NIKKOR Z 35-85mm f/1.8 S constant aperture lens rumor has just surfaced through a popular Weibo handle. We’re unsure of the credibility of this information, but we do have a constant-aperture full-frame lens from Sigma with a similar focal length, the Sigma 28-45mm f/1.8. However, this particular lens is currently available only for Sony E-mount and L-mount.
As of now, any collaboration between Nikon and Sigma for a Z-mount version of this lens hasn’t been confirmed. Given the focal length of 28-45mm, it’s possible Nikon could be partnering with Sigma to develop a 35-85mm lens with a constant f/1.8 aperture. While this possibility exists, we don’t have an exact timeline yet for when it might be realized.

If this Nikkor Z 35-85mm f/1.8 S lens becomes a reality, I’m all in! The mix of a wide-to-portrait focal range with a fast f/1.8 aperture would be incredible, making it an essential all-in-one for both portraits and low-light shooting. Nikon’s S-line has delivered amazing optical quality so far, and if they maintain that here, I’d grab this lens without hesitation. This could easily become my go-to lens for nearly every scenario!
This sounds like a dream lens, but honestly, a versatile zoom like a 35-85mm f/1.8 seems more likely to happen if Sigma steps in with a Z-mount option (and the lens arrives as rebranded lens in market, as tamron makes 28-75mm lenses with Nikkor brand). Nikon’s prime offerings are solid, but Sigma has a way of delivering unique lenses with great optical quality at more accessible prices. Lets wait and fingers crossed
Tamron lens is crap in terms of image quality and it is f2.8.
This one is 35-85 but in f1.8
If it is nikon S line it will be 2000 euro, if it is sigma 1300 euro, if it is sigma rebranded as nikon 1500 euro.
I would prefer a 24 -50 1.4 lens
