I got a Nikon D200 in 2007, with a 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens. I had decided to take photos of live music, mainly rock bands as I had access to my local venue. However, it soon become apparent that although the 18-135mm lens is a good lens, it didn''t let in enough light, especially when fully...

This lens, I like. I like a lot. Photozone did a lab test on this lens and the 1.4D. This lens outperforms the 1.4D in distortion, resolution, chromatic abberations and vignetting from each of their respective widest openings to F11. Check it out.
Pros:
- Sharpness, Contrast, Weight and a Fast lens
- What more
Cons:
- None really noted

Great little lens
I love this lens, debated for a bit whether to get the 1.4. but after buying this one I have no regrets. Since I rarely shoot wide open, the 1.4 did not seem to make sense. The lens is very sharp and feels well built.
Pros:
- small light
- sharp
- good price
Cons:
- n/a

Pros:
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Great Range
- Lightweight

Nikon 85mm 1.8 AFD Lens
Lens balances well on camera body,does great job of blurring background(great for portraits)and is tack sharp. Color,resolution, and detail are excellent with this lens. You can use it as a portrait lens,moderate telephoto lens and is great in available light.

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
