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.

    Nikon - AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G On a full frame camera this is a really nice portrait lens or even a as general purpose, slightly longer than a 50mm, lens to keep on your camera for really sharp images at your point of focus.

    Great portrait lens for a starter. Does the job perfectly and also gives you distance between you and subject so you don't have to be all up in their face

    Larger aperture is really gr8 for low light and shallow depth of field. Awesome for 'bokeh' effect...

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    FOR THE MONEY, THIS IS A PERFECT LENS... ALMOST... ITS 90% OF THE BIG BROTHER 85MM 1.4G. FEW THINGS THE CHINESE LEFT OUT, ITS ONLY 7 rounded BLADES, 67MM FRONT ELEMENT TO THE 77MM ON 1.4, AND HONESTLY IT FEELS CHEAP. IF YOUR AN ENTHUSIAST, THIS IS FOR YOU. IF GETTING PAID FOR YOUR PICTURES, THIS COULD WORK TOO, I GUESS YOU HAVE TO ASK, WHATS ITS WORTH TO YOU.
