Customers highly value the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Medium Telephoto Lens for its exceptional image quality and beautiful bokeh. The lens is also appreciated for its reasonable price, fast focus speed, and ideal focal length for portraits. Its relatively light weight is another positive aspect, while chromatic aberration is not a significant concern.
Works with any Nikon FX or DX-format DSLR camera with an F-bayonet mount. Also compatible with most Nikon 35mm SLR cameras.
Allows you to capture intricately detailed images without getting too close to your subject. Concentrates the focus on a narrow field of view for vivid close-up shots.
Beautifully isolates your subject from the background. This versatile focal length blends depth and dimension for stunning portraits, action shots and low-light images.
Performs exceptionally well in low-light settings and allows remarkable depth-of-field control, so you can softly blur the background and draw attention to your subject.
Utilizes ultrasound vibrations to focus the lens, resulting in smooth, silent and precise autofocusing.
Allows you to switch from manual to automatic with virtually no lag time, by simply turning the focusing ring on the lens.
Allows for a more compact, lightweight construction and a closer focusing distance without changes in the lens barrel length.
Nikon Super Integrated Coating minimizes ghosting and flare and ensures consistent color balance for true-to-life images.
Compatible with screw-on filter types.
Comes with a hood, lens cap (front and rear) and case.
Nikon - AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G and Nikon - AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G tremendously differ in price. What would you say about pictures they make? Could you please compare these lenses?
There are a number of differences between these two lenses. The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G has a Nano Crystal Coating which is an anti-reflective coating that helps reduce internal reflections across a wide range of wavelengths. It also has 9 rounded blades instead of 7 and one more internal lens element than the 85mm f/1.8G lens. This makes it super-sharp and ultra-fast for superior depth-of-field control and background blur. However, if you're looking for a light-weight lens that is meant for travel, the 85mm f/1.8G lens is a great choice! The versatile 85mm f/1.8G prime lens is ideal for capturing exceptional portraiture, wedding and concert images with fast and quiet AF. Either of these lenses would be a remarkable addition to any growing camera bag.
Am I understanding well? It won't be compatible with the D5300 either?! I have a 5300 and want to purchase this lens. Will I have problems focusing? Please help
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G lens is completely compatible with the Nikon D5300 DX-format DSLR camera and is ideal for portraiture, weddings and concerts. When used with a DX-format camera this lens has an effective field of view of 127mm. This 85mm lens is an AF-S type of lens which means it uses a "Silent Wave" motor (SWM) for focusing and it will focus beautifully when paired with the Nikon D5300 to provide images that are absolutely stunning.
I have a Nikon D3500. I want more of a bokeh style, is this lens compatible with my camera?
The Nikon D3500 is compatible with AF-S type G lenses such as the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G lens and is capable of giving you a beautiful bokeh effect! However, you may want to keep in mind that this lens is an FX format lens while the D3500 is a DX format camera. When an FX lens is put on a DX camera, the result is a magnified image by about 1.5x. This means that, for example, an 85mm FX lens on a DX camera will give you the equivalent angle of view of a 128mm lens on an FX camera. For more information on lens compatibility, please contact Nikon Support.
