A highly desirable focal length for portraiture, the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G from Nikon is a short-telephoto prime featuring a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture. This design finds balance between a lightweight, compact form factor while also being fast enough to effectively control depth of field and suit working in low light. Individual lens elements feature a Super Integrated Coating, which controls flare and ghosting to produce greater contrast and color fidelity when working in bright and backlit conditions. Additionally, the Silent Wave Motor affords fast and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Reviews
Great Lens for the Right Job
It's a beautiful lens for sure. I like the form factor, not too big and it's really light. The bokeh is very nice and the field of view, well for me it magnifies just as my eye does. I see the subject in the image as the same size as I see it in real life, which I like. The lens is sharp which I expected. I expected the focus to be faster, but that's on me. This is the perfect lens for portraits in all settings, landscapes, stitching panoramas, and still life. The autofocus isn't fast enough to keep up with running children, animals, or athletes. It will be the lens I go to for all my portrait work, but anything faster I'll go for the 70-200 f 2.8 G. I am happy I bought the lens
Nice lens
A Nikon lens that does what it is supposed to do. Well built should last forever if I take proper care of it.
