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.

    What can I say. The proof is in the gorgeous portrait photographs we take with this lense. It only takes a few minutes to learn how to use it. We also bought the Nikkor 50mm portrait lens thinking that they were interchangeable and we would return the "better" one. After using both lenses for a couple of weeks we've found that they each have their unique use.
