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.

    Solid lens for the price. Good quality images. The difference in exposure between the f/1.4 and this f/1.8 is minimal. It Feels cheap but performance-wise, it's superb...
