Recommended +++++
Limitless possibilities with this lens. Consistently sharp and colorful images. Ordinarily my favorite portrait lens is the Sigma 50mm 1.4 on the Nikon D610 but, the Nikon 85mm 1.8G often leaves me undecided. /:) You can't go wrong with this one.

This lens blows me away
I was a bit skeptical that I wouldn't use this lens that much given it's focal length. But recent I started doing in studio fashion/beauty shots and I have to say, the images I get with this lens and my D750 are just unbelievably sharp, almost to a fault (not really), but yes, with some people post...

Nikon 85mm f/1.8G AF-S Nikkor
One of the sharpest prime lenses Nikon has ever produced. Sharp even at f1.8. Very nice bokeh as one would expect. This is a worthy successor to the venerable "D" version of this lens. A new classic 85 portrait lens in F mount.
Pros:
- Image quality and overall sharpness
- wide-open sharpness
- size
- bokeh
- weight
- cost
Cons:
- Build quality could be better

I bought this for two upcoming weddings and with the 1.8 aperture it will be great inside the venues. The filter size is 67mm and already have two filters that size for my Nikon 18-300mm lens and also have the Nikon 35mm lens, so this 85mm lens will round out my collection nicely

Literally my favourite lens. Not always a practical length but consistently sharp and fast. Good build quality.

My Favorite Lens
This is an incredible lens. With fast accurate focusing, super sharp, color rich images, it just shines. Mine required no calibration, and measured against a calibration chart was dead on right out of the box. In practice it also focuses quickly.

Great portrait lens
The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Lens is a great lens for portraiture and for use in low light. Prime lenses are typically sharper than zoom lenses and this lens is no exception. For the price it is difficult to find a sharper portraiture lens that has the same low light capabilities.

With an f/1.8 portrait lens this sweet, who needs f/1.4?
