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.

    This is a great lens ! The only thing is you have to be pretty far away from your subject. It almost has to be used outside or in a really large room. Great lens !

    Killer for Headshots

    The DOF and bokeh on the lens are awesome, it is great for headshots, but the focal length can be a bit long for full body. It just depends on how far you prefer to be from your subject!

    First of all the young man who helped me look for the product before I ordered it was just awesome! He looked further in the store for the camera lens, but could not locate the product, then he let me know that he could order it online and gave me the specifics, E. T. A. , etcetera. The lens came in very quickly and it is a great photography camera lens! Great service! Thank you!

    The results this lens produces using it with the D850 are awesome... you barely need lights to shoot and the images come out crisp and clear.

    This doesn't have the shallow depth of field of the 1.4G, but is arguably better in every other way. Price can't really be beat either for what you get!
