Great lens for your kit!
I use this lens on my Nikon D5100 for natural light portraits and grandkids volleyball & basketball photos. Focus speed is good in qym lighting. Although I haven't completely tested it, some reviews show best sharpness & quality at f4 to f8. Very pleased with results so far.
Pros:
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh

This lens + the D800/E is an awesome combination The sharpness and resolving power of this lens is amazing and in the studio I can\'t think of a better prime.

85mm f/1.8G AF-S FX Nikkor Lens
I bought this lens to use with my DX-format D40 and FX-format N80. I needed a fast portrait lens with AF and metering, hence the choice. From a very limited testing so far, I can say this is a great addition to my bag of lenses.
Pros:
- Easily Interchangeable
- Extremely Sharp
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- No Vr Feature

Is there a six star option
"I bought this lens a while back on a whim knowing that I should probably kit myself out with an 85mm at some point. The price was right and all of the reviews made it pretty clear that this was one of the best lenses in its class.

Great Lens and super sharp
Awesome lens for the price. Focus can be a little slow but faster than the Nikon 50mm 1.4. Needed to auto fine tune as apparently there can be issues with back/front focusing which I had with my sample. Once checked and set focus is accurate and the lens is super sharp. My new favourite lens.
Pros:
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G
Excellent lens Does well in low light conditions. Auto focus doesn't perform well. Switched it to manual focus & it remedied the "problem"
Pros:
- sharp
- excellent in low light
- beautiful bokeh (manual focus

- the auto focus is a bit sluggish

Only for serious photographers!!!
If you are really serious in portrait photography and like to see professional looking results with super smooth bokeh then you would not get any better lens in this price range. This lens offers great sharpness and superior picture quality.

Excellent quality lens
This is an FX lens which works on DX cameras too. It's not heavy but it's solid enough. It's often used as a portrait lens but can be used for whatever you like. The benefit for FX users is the very shallow depth of field and consequent subject isolation hence portraits.
