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.

Crutchfield has collected 2 user reviews for this product with an average rating of 5.0 out of 5 stars. The most recent reviewer said, "One stellar fact about this lens is that it's T-stop value is t/1.8.

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.

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.

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 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.

This lens takes an impressive image for not much $. Is only 1/2 stop slower than the 1.4D for less than 1/2 the bux. For my glamour portraiture usage, I have some sample images by this lens and a comparison to several of its peers avail in a more detailed review @...

This is certainly a fantastic write-up.

This compact, affordable 85mm prime lens is an excellent choice for portrait photography and HD video recording; 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.

The Nikkor AF 85mm f/1.8 D was a very boring lens during the tests simply because it showed a exceptional performance in all tested categories. Besides the lab results the lens shows a beautiful bokeh (out-of-focus blur).

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
