I've used both the 1.4 and the 1.8 versions of Nikon's 85mm, and for approximately half the price, the 1.8 version represents one of the best values in the Nikkor family. It actually focuses faster due to the smaller elements involved.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus

No built in motor; Plastic construction

I purchased this product specifically to photograph indoor gymnastics meets and indoor volleyball tournaments for my kids. (No flash allowed) I have been so pleased with the crisp, clear photo's that I have been able to get, as well as amazing shots that caught a completely still moment.

Ett av de mest prisvärda porträttobjektiv man kan få tag i om man använder Nikon. Fungerar både till DX och FX kameror. Saknar AF-S motor vilket innebär att kameran måste ha en inbyggd AF-motor för att autofokusen skall fungera. Mycket bra bildkvalitet till ett förhållandevis lågt pris.

Mycket bra skärpa, förhållandevis låg kromatisk aberration och nästintill obefintlig distorsion; I ett riktigt fotografi ser man ingen distorsion alls; Snygg bakgrundsoskärpa "bokeh"; Stadigt byggt objektiv, ger intryck av att vara nästan lika välbyggt som de tidigare manuella gluggarna från nikon.

Ingen AF-S motor = långsam AF (Även om den är snabb för att vara ett icke AF-S objektiv) ganska högljudd när man använder autofokus; Inte lika bra bildkvalitet när man använder vidöppen bländare som den manuella versionen, men från ungefär f/2.8 och uppåt är den minst lika bra om inte bättre

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).

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.

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...

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.

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.

small light; sharp; good price
