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.

    I used to have a 50mm f1.4g lens and it was soft at F1.4-F1.8, this 85mm lens does not have any distortion at any f-stop, pictures are extremely sharp.
