There's no more iconic focal length in Nikon folklore than 105mm. I remember the day in the 1980s when I purchased the legendary Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 lens (at prices that seem ridiculously low these days) from Denver's Robert Waxman Camera and thought I'd finally made it.

This is just an initial thoughts video of the Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED. I have only had the lens for a few days and not used it a great deal but having been a photographer for a number of years, generally I have a bit of knowledge in this area.

While the slightly unusual focal length is a tad too long for serious landscape work, it offers a wealth of possibilities, from street to portrait or wedding and event photography, allowing you to get close to your subjects, or frame more than a traditional 35mm.

Nikon AF-S 28mm F1.4E ED is a Fixed aperture Auto Focus (AF) Wideangle Prime lens with 35mm FF max sensor coverage, and it is designed to be used with F(FX) Mount cameras. What type of photography is the Nikon AF-S 28mm F1.4E ED lens good for?

Weather-sealed, Autofocus, Full-time Manual Focusing, Very Fast Aperture, Covers Full-Frame Sensor, 9 Diaphragm Blades for Smooth Bokeh, Minimum focus distance of, 0.28m / 11.0 inch, Pricey

Meet the new standard by which all short telephoto lenses will be measured against, the world's first* full-frame 105mm with an f/1.4 aperture. A marvel of optical precision, distortion correction and craftsmanship.

What can I say that hasn't been said about this lens Let's see, it is the world's fastest 105mm lens that takes fantastic portraits, with very, very soft backgrounds and beautiful bokeh. It is also worth noting that this lens is aimed primarily at portrait photography.

Clearly my go-to lens to achieve the true Pinnacle of Portraiture! Sharpness and beauty unsurpassed. Rugged yet easy handling. Perfectly balanced on a Nikon D850. Wish I would have had it long ago! Highly Recommend!

I have owned the Nikkor 105mm f/1.4e for a couple of years and for most things it is a great lens. Optically it is very good and can easily be used at f/1.4. Compared to my Zeiss 85mmf 1.4 Milvus the lenses are quite comparable, though the Zeiss has a little better micro contrast.

Great Picture Quality; Light compared to the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 art; Reliable autofocus

Cats eyes at f/1.4; Not the most solid feeling lens

Great for portraiture, the Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED is all about beautiful bokeh...
