Nikon AF S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Fixed Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras

التعليق

I just purchased this lens and got it tested right away. Love it soon as I took the first shot. Very sharp, good contrast, lightweight, fast glass at a reasonable price. A good addition to my 20mm 1.8G and 50mm 1.8G. Regrettably sold my 35mm 1.8G. I like using prime lenses. They lighter, cheaper (1.4 is an exception) and sharper that most pro zoom lenses. Photography is a hobby and I would not want to spend a lot for pro zooms that is why I settled on the next best thing. I use an old Nikon 35-70 f2.8D and the Nikon 80-200 f2.8D instead. Now that I have the 85mm prime I do not need to haul my 80-200. I might be able to sell it in the future. I could use it as well with my new Panasonic G85 with my Metabones adapter for travel portraiture. This lens and the 20mm is all I need with my D610. Took some snapshots soon as it arrived today. Not bad results for test shots. I am really impressed with this lens.

I have a Nikon D3400 and was using a kit lens for the longest time...my pictures sucked and I wasnt getting any better, though, so after reading SO many good reviews of this lens I decided to rip off the bandaid and go big (for me, person with almost no DSLR experience). Im so glad I did. Not just because it takes phenomenal pictures -- obviously, as all the other reviews state, it is -- but it transformed how I take pictures. Due to the cost and quality, I wanted to use this lens as much as possible and I really did! My pictures have improved tremendously in a short period of time, and now when I use my 50mm prime lens or even my kit lens, the pictures are just BETTER. Because Im practicing more, and Im *enjoying* taking my friends out for portrait shoots! Im so glad I bought this lens!

Love this lens. So sharp, bokeh is extraordinary. Get it, you wont regret it. I shoot on a d7000 which is a cropped sensor, so it runs at about 110mm rather than 85mm, still works great, I stand about 6 foot from the subject it works great.

This is hands down my favorite lens for portraits. It gives such a beautiful background blur. I have the 35 and 50 as well but this is always the one I am excited to use because of the blur. I just wish I could get more opportunities to use it; its only drawback is that its so zoomed in that it cant really be used in indoor settings or tight spaces. You need lots of room to be able to back up to get everything you want in the photo.

I enjoy taking portraits. This lens is perfect on my Nikon D3100. It produces beautiful bokeh, and operates with a comfortable distance between me and my subject. Not 15 away like with a 200m, nor 3 away like with a 50mm. Its just right. Facial features do not appear distorted, focus is adequately fast and is amazingly clear. Depth of field can be incredibly small. Its easy to take a close-up with your subjects eyes in tack sharp focus, but with their ears blurred. It does a great job taking pictures in the shade or indoors with available light. Honestly, since I bought this lens a month ago, I havent bothered mounting any of my other lenses. Im having too much fun. I couldnt be happier.

I bought this lens for headshots, I already own 105 2.8 macro and 50mm 1.4. Before purchasing this lens I was seriously contemplating if its a necessary purchase because of the 105mm but this lens is proved its worth. Its a magnificent lens with very high resolution, stunningly sharp. Focus is fast enough for most applications. If you do headshots like me just go out and buy this lens, nothing beats it for resolution and sharpness.

Beautiful bokeh, contrast, resolution, sharpness and image rendition. One of the best lenses that you can mount onto your D810 that Nikon has to offer.

Very nice image quality. The thing i noticed right away was a bit more chromatic aberration than normally so be extra mindful of that in post process. Other than that great portrait lens. Bought mine used - like new in MINT condition for some 350 bucks. Quality-to-price ratio is through the ceiling.. Something Id expect from 1200+ lens. This one is also a great budget alternative to the 85mm f1.4.

I absolutely LOVE this lens. It takes fantastic pictures. Its crisp and clear. It is a beautiful portrait lens and is a must-have for your photography lens collection. In addition to portraits I find this great for close up shots of nature, details, etc. it has great speed and sharp focus. I have been blown away by my pictures.

I have heavier, more expensive Nikon lenses but this 85mm f/1.8G is just right for air travel. With the recent Nikon discounts this lens is bargain priced lens yet produces sharp and contrasty images when used with my D800e. My intended use is mostly for street and landscape photography so - the aperture will be stopped down from f/4.5 to f/7.1 I recommend always leaving the lens hood on and using a B+W nano coated clear filter to protect the front element without degrading the image. Internal focus and lens mount gasket, great features.
