Often described as the ideal lens for portraiture, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G is a short-telephoto prime characterized by its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture and ability to isolate subjects using shallow depth of field. The slightly long focal length and fast design are complemented by a rounded nine-blade diaphragm, which helps to achieve a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality. Individual elements feature both Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings, which suppress lens flare and ghosting in order to produce greater contrast and color rendering when working in bright and backlit conditions. Additionally, a Silent Wave Motor affords fast and precise autofocus capabilities along with full-time manual focus control.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G Reviews
Laser Sharp!
Fast and sharp, brings life into every portrait!
Another great Nikon Lens
This 1.4 Nikon 85mm Lens provides performance as advertised. A great portrait lens.
The standard portrait lens
This lens has a maximum aperture of f/1.4 which gives you a nice creamy out of focus background (bokeh)
Magic
This lens is magic. I already had the f/1.4 and f/1.8 versions of the Nikkor 50mm lens. This is not that kind of lens. This superb lens makes the most amazing bokeh shot nearly wide open. Also the softest transitions from sharp to un-sharp image areas I've ever seen. Then take it out and shoot it at f/5.6 or f/8. Unbelievable sharpness, gorgeous color and contrast. Look over the images at 500px or Flickr shot by this lens group. There's the magic. Get this lens, don't take it off your camera until you know how to make the magic. You'll never look at another standard lens again.
Fantastic Prime Lens
I was initially reluctant to spend this much on a prime lens, but the image quality is stunning. No regrets!
Excellent lens
I was surprised by the brightness that this lens provides for portraits even in dim lighting.
No sweeter (outdoor) portrait lens...
I bought this to replace my older Nikkor 85 1.4, which will not auto focus on the new Z bodies, even with the newer FTZii. You really have to shoot with this lens-it is phenomenal in every respect.
Professional lens for portrait!
This lens gives me a sharp image and a nice background blur. BTW, super fast and well-wrapped shipment.
