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: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. For more information on lens compatibility, please contact Nikon Support.
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.
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.
A:AnswerThe AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G is a beautiful lens that produces sharp and clear images at all apertures. It's ideal for head and shoulder portraiture, weddings and concerts. When mounted on a DX-format DSLR camera, such as the Nikon D3200, this lens has an effective field of view of 127mm. This lens offers outstanding performance for HD videos or portraits with a beautiful and softly blurred background.
A:AnswerYes, however with it being a cropped sensor in a DX body you will have a slightly longer focal length closer to 127mm opposed to the FX version of 85. It is well worth it. I use it on my D3200 and couldn't be happier.
A:AnswerThe Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Medium Telephoto lens is fully compatible with both the Nikon D7000 DX-format DSLR camera and the Nikon D850 DSLR FX-format camera. When this FX lens is used with a DX-format DSLR camera, like the D7000, the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G will have an effective field of view of 127mm. This lens is ideal for low light, head and shoulder portraiture, weddings or concerts. To learn more about lens compatibility please contact Nikon Support.
A:AnswerI would imagine yes, but I'm an enthusiast--not a professional. If it's a DX (APS-C) camera, you're probably aware that the focal length will increase by 1.5 times. There are experts on YouTube--such as Tony and Chelsea Northrup, Matt Grainger, etc.--whom you can contact to find out if the lens is a good fit for the D90 (beyond simply working on it). They also have websites, which allow you to send them an email. (I’m unsure if it’s appropriate to include a link to their websites here, so I will err on the side of caution. N.B., I am not affiliated with them in any way. However, I do learn a lot from them and others online.) Best Buy is currently selling this 85mm at an amazing price in my area: ca. $430 (if you do find out it’s a good lens for your camera, and you’re going to keep the D90, I would get it). As another option, you can always sell your D90, add what you make from it to the $430, and spend it on a new camera at Best Buy instead (only you know what is right for you)—find that out from the experts as well before you decide.
A:AnswerThe AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G lens is a beautifully fast and sharp lens that is perfect for portraits and will work well with the Nikon D300. Vignetting can occur with this lens when the HB-62 Bayonet Lens Hood is not attached properly but taking off and re-attaching the hood should solve that problem. Removing an attached filter from the lens can also solve a vignetting problem. If you see there is vignetting, even after trying these tips please contact Nikon Support for troubleshooting help.
A:AnswerNo, this is not a macro lens. The minimum focusing distance is ~2.5 feet, so don't expect any super close-ups of insects (although it might pass for flowers).
A possible option for you might be the AF-S DX Micro 85mm f/3.5G, which is a macro lens (minimum focus distance of less than 1 foot).
