Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD Lens for Nikon F
Key Features
  • Nikon F Mount/FX Format
  • Aperture Range: f/1.8 to f/16
  • One LD Element and One XLD Element
  • eBAND and BBAR Coatings
An ideal focal length for portraiture, the SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD Lens from Tamron is a short-telephoto prime designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount DSLRs. Incorporating one Low Dispersion element and one Extra Low Dispersion element into the optical design, this lens is adept at reducing chromatic aberrations and color fringing for a high degree of clarity and color accuracy, as well as sharpness and resolution. BBAR and eBAND coatings have also been applied to minimize flare and ghosting for increased contrast when working in strong lighting conditions, and a rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality to benefit shallow depth of field imagery. Classic in terms of focal length yet optimized for the recent breed of high-resolution DSLRs, this portrait-length prime melds a familiar perspective with contemporary performance.

Which is better sigma 85mm f1.4 art or tamron 85 mm f 1.8 di vc usd?
Asked by: RAKESH
Reviewing Dxomark's rankings, the Sigma is ranked at 53—the highest rating given to any lens. The Tamron is ranked at 48—still extremely high. If one shoots primarily hand-held with a high-resolution camera (D8xx), the Tamron will yield more keepers because of its Vibration Compensation. Hand-held, I doubt most shooters will be able to differentiate between them.
