- A: AnswerThe 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.

- A: AnswerThe 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.

Q: Questionis this compatible to Nikon D3200(4 answers)
A: AnswerYes, the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Lens is fully compatible with the D3200.Answered by NikonStaff
- A: AnswerThere 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.

- A: AnswerYes, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Medium Telephoto lens will autofocus with the Nikon D7100 DX-format camera but there is also an M/A switch on the barrel, so you can change to manual whenever the situation calls for it. This lens is ideal for portraiture, weddings and concerts and when mounted on a DX-format D-SLR will have an effective field of view of 127mm.
Answered by NikonStaff
- A: AnswerThe f/1.8 aperture is excellent for lower light shooting situations. What you need to access is - will 85mm be enough of a reach to capture the action that you want to capture.

Great for price
True to its description. Easy to use and auto focus is amazing on a busy shoot day. Always loved this brand so I’m happy to see an affordable lens with quality.

A great Portrait Lens
A great sharp portraiture lens that provides beautiful bokeh with saturated colors. Compression between the subject and the background provides a more unique look in comparison to other lens (35mm, 50mm).

Just What I Needed!!
I bought this for a DX camera so I can shoot High School basketball games. I am pretty close to the action so a zoom was not necessary! The 1.8 and the fact that its a Prime lens makes it an excellent choice. Putting this on the DX gave me about 127mm zoon and when shooting I choose JPEG which gives me even more FPS than if I was shooting raw. I have the option to crop in the camera as well. I love it!!
