A macro telephoto designed for DX, the Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/3.5G ED VR is a 127.5mm-equivalent prime optimized for close-up shooting. Offering a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification and an 11.3" minimum focusing distance, this lens is especially adept for working with nearby subjects. Its optical design includes one extra-low dispersion element, which minimizes chromatic aberrations in order to achieve high clarity and color accuracy. A Super Integrated Coating is also used to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast when working in bright and backlit conditions. The Silent Wave Motor AF system produces fast, near-silent focusing performance that suits both stills shooting and movie recording, which can instantly be manually overridden by simply turning the manual focus ring. Further contributing to producing sharp imagery, VR II (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake by up to three shutter speed steps.

Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/3.5G ED VR Overview
Telephoto prime is designed for DX-format Nikon F-mount cameras and provides a 127.5mm equivalent focal length.
Ideal for macro shooting, this lens offers a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 11.3" to suit working with close-up subjects.
One extra-low dispersion element greatly reduces color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color accuracy.
A Super Integrated Coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.
Silent Wave Motor affords quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design is also used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
VR II (Vibration Reduction) image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by three stops to benefit shooting handheld in difficult lighting conditions.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.

At first I thought it would be just another great lens from Nikon but upon taking and seeing the first photos I have to say that it has quickly become my favorite lens. Everything about it makes my macro photography so much easier yet still has the ability to capture larger format images without sacrifice, or having to switch lenses. Thanks Nikon for another great one.
Excellent macro lens.

Perfect for Dental Photography

I have been using the 105mm f.28 FX lens for years for dental photography.� It's an excellent lens, but the latest VR version is HEAVY.� I decided to give the 85mm DX version a try, and I'm delighted.� It's significantly lighter which makes holding the camera one-handed (while using the other hand for the reflective mirror) much easier.� I don't notice any drop-off in sharpness or contrast. I couldn't be happier with this lens.
Great Macro and portrait lens!

is this the U.S.A
Is the nikon 85mm d 1:3.5 a USA version for warranty conerns ?Nikon sku should be SKU: NK8535VRU
This is a Nikon USA lens made in China. The warranty paper comes inside the box with the lens. I had no problem registering my warranty for this lens at the Nikon USA website. You will not need the SKU to register the lens, just the serial number and the model which is on the warranty paper. This is an excellent lens.

question
Quick question. This lens is a DX formatted lens, so it will be a true 85mm focal length on a DX camera correct? It will not give a 127mm cropped image. I think the 127mm will be for FX sensors only. Perhaps thats what 127.5mm (35mm Equivalent) means but I am not sure,
An 85mm lens is always an 85mm lens in focal length. When used on a DX camera, it will have the field of view of a 127mm lens. The depth of field will behave like an 85mm lens. Focal length is always reported as the physical focal length. The field of view of the lens will depend on the effective sensor size.

Is this a better len for taking close-up photos of food dishes over the Af-s dx micro nikkor 85mm f3.5g vr?
All the Nikon macro lenses are very good for food shots, it depends if you have a cropped sensor camera or full frame and how wide a shot you want. The 60mm macro or 40mm macro may be better if you want more in the shot. But all in all, they are all very good.
