Likes: Lightweight, focus is sorta fast but not like my 70-200. Very sharp edge to edge! Bokeh is nice and realistically for a f1.8 lens it's all I need. DoF with faster lens becomes a bigger issue. This lens has good balance.
Dislikes: No real dislikes. The ONLY thing I've noticed is focus accuracy in low contrast situations. It does OK but not great. This is on a Z9 and non face/eye/car detection. Just autofocus on a still life subject (e.g. flower). Certainly something I can work with though and not a big issue at all. Haven't tried it in a low light portrait situation yet.

From the manufacturer
Captivating Portraits. Breathtaking Details.
A premium S-Line lens that blends optical ingenuity and artistic nuance. Flattering perspective. Breathtaking resolution. Stunning bokeh. Unwavering focus and lifelike accuracy compensation. This 85mm lens will thrill and inspire those who shoot portraits, headshots, close-ups and tight video shots.
-
Pure Natural Beauty
Few subjects showcase the strengths and shortcomings of a lens more clearly than the human face. The NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S captures every detail in breathtaking clarity and sharpness.
-
Flattering Perspective
The shape of a face is greatly affected by focal length. The 85mm perspective is within the sweet spot for portraits and fashion, rendering faces naturally and beautifully, free of distortion.
-
Dreamy Bokeh
Nine rounded aperture blades give defocused points of light a soft, round consistent shape. Plus, the transition from tack-sharp foreground to dreamy background is smooth and natural.
-
Edge-to-Edge Brightness
One of the many advantages of the larger Z mount is its ability to retain even illumination, especially at the corners of the frame. This results in bright, even exposures with minimal vignetting.
-
Unwavering Autofocus
Powered by an ultra-quiet stepping motor and enhanced by the additional light gathered by the Z Mount, focusing is fast, silent and accurate. Great for stills; even better for video.
-
An Outstanding Lens for Video
The artistic qualities, natural perspective, quiet AF and smooth aperture control make this an outstanding video lens for documentaries, interviews and b-roll footage.
NIKKOR quality at its absolute best.

Fantastic improvement over already great Nikon 85mm-f/1.4g lens
I'm a portrait photographer, and this is the best lens I've used. Better than the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G I used before switching to mirrorless, and that was a great lens. The lens is razor sharp from center to corners. I won't be in a hurry to get the 85mm f/1.2 lens when it comes out.

85mm focal length is too good.
Build quality feels very premium which is expected as it's a prime series lens.
Almost silent stepper motor while focusing on subjects.
