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.

    It’s good but the f stop of 1.8 messed with my head so returned it and got the 105mm f1.4. But otherwise is a great lens for beginners specially portrait

    This a high quality prime lens. As a medium range telephoto with a max f stop of 1.8, it’s great for situations when you don’t want to be right up in the action.
