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.

    Good results at f/1.8, but absolutely beautiful by f/4. Works wonders as a portrait lens. It is a little heavy and isn't the fastest focusing lens out there, but nothing to worry too much about.

    I primarily use this lens for personal photos but I do take photos for my friends and family. I was shopping around for lenses and came across this one. It's a gret lens for the price and I couldn't be happier

    Obviously not better than newer versions of the 1.4, and it’s not a macro as well. However cut is crisp and very sharp/high quality for the price. Excellent combo IMO.

    Purchased this lens to photograph my son's basketball games. It took some getting used to, not being able to zoom; however the photos are sharp and clear! I'm very pleased with this purchase!

    This is one of my favorite lens for personal portraits. But this is not the right lens if you looking to do event shoots.

    It's a great lens for shooting. I used the lens for shooting several photos at the beach and the quality wasn't bad.
