Nikon offers the 85mm f/1.4 D AF (£897) and the newer 85mm f/1.4 G AF-S. The 85mm f/1.8D AF was launched in ‘94 and its design does look older than its rivals. Designed for Nikon D-SLRs that use the FX mount, it's also compatible with DX cameras such as the D7000 and offers an equivalent of 127.5mm...

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

Excellent glass, high transmittance and sharpness

One stellar fact about this lens is that it's T-stop value is t/1.8. Due to the phenomenal optical design correcting aberrations with a mathematically optimal number of elements via a fast rear-focusing breakthrough, this lens is within 1/3rd of a stop as bright compared to both of the Nikon f/1.4...

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.
