This is certainly a fantastic write-up.

- Its fast f/1.8 maximum aperture with manual control offers outstanding low-light performance, natural background blur and smooth aperture adjustments during Live View shooting.

Sharp portrait lens, perfect bokeh.
Over all, This is a fantastic lens with beautiful clarity and sharpness and super perfect bokeh. It is by far the sharpest lens I own. I bought it for my D80 and it worked perfectly. However, shortly after I bought a D3300, and didnt think about the fact that this lens would not work with it.

One of Nikons best lenses also for digital cameras 800D but keep aperture not higher than 5.6-8. It is mechanically much better than its plastic successor and almost as good optically.

Another great Nikkor prime
I have a couple of zooms that cover this range but I wanted a prime for people and pet photos. This lens fills the bill with more speed and IQ than the zooms and is compact in size.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Made in Japan
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- NONE

beautiful lens, sharp and with wonderful bokeh. just a bit heavy but solid!
it's a great lens, very sharp from f/6.3 down to f/11 (as far as I've seen) autofocus is fast and just a bit noisier than the latest G lenses. the bokeh is beautiful. the only disadvantage is the weight, but also gives the feeling of a sturdy and resistant item. I'm very satisfied.

Very amazing lens for the price!!!
Very nice 85 1.8 prime lens at a great price (versus the 85 1.4 which is much much costlier). Does really well with portraits in all types of lighting. Have also used it for various outdoor applications as well as food photography which comes out very crisp and having the 1.8 aperture makes food...

I got a helluva deal!
I own a D90, which is my fourth Nikon but my first DSLR. While killing time in a pawn shop I spotted an N8008 in great condition. My eyes popped out when I saw this lens attached. I checked to see if it focused, and bought it. The camera works perfectly.

Solid Quality
Excellent shallow depth of field at full open aperture. Very Sharp. Better value and I suspect higher quality of construction than latest version but only consider if your camera can drive the focus system for autofocus. Very impressed with this lens. Good optical quality and solid construction.
Pros:
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- No bayonet for lens hood
