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.

    My first prime lens from Nikon and I can't believe the difference it makes in my photos. The lens is an excellent performer. The fast aperture makes taking head & Shoulder shots a dream. The bokeh effect with this lens is perfect. I have already had several comments that my photographs look professional. I would defiantly recommend this lens to any DX owner looking for a good, reasonable priced fast lens.

    This 85mm is just about the sharpest lens I've ever used. Autofocus is extremely quick and image quality is absolutely incredible while attached to my Nikon D600. For the price, this is the best AF prime lens you can buy right now. Highly recommended!

    I really love the Nikon 85 Lens. It is a great lens for portraits. It was also nice that Best Buy had this in stock. I needed it on the day of purchase so being able to purchase right away was really nice. Thanks Best Buy!!
