Customers are saying

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.

    First of all the young man who helped me look for the product before I ordered it was just awesome! He looked further in the store for the camera lens, but could not locate the product, then he let me know that he could order it online and gave me the specifics, E. T. A. , etcetera. The lens came in very quickly and it is a great photography camera lens! Great service! Thank you!

    Great Lens for Portrait and medium range shooting. I use for Street Photos but sometimes find it a little too long and switch to 35mm or 50mm prime.

    This is the second lens I have bought. I really love how close it can get without having to be in someone's personal space and without losing sharpness.

    In love with the speed and sharpness of this lens. It's actually scored higher on dxomark than the 85mm 1.4, which is $1000 more than this lens!

    The amount of detail this lens has is amazing! This is my go to lens when taking pictures, especially portrait photos. It truly stands apart from the other lenses I have (all of which are great). I’m planning on purchasing the same type of quality lens with shorter range since your subject needs to be back quite a bit when using this lens. But other than that, I would recommend this to anyone, especially if you are new at photography.

    Photos are reasonably good and lens works fairly well under low light conditions but focus of subjects is not as crisp and precise as other higher quality Nikon lenses (for example: 70x200 mm f-2.8 zoom lens).
