Customer Ratings & Reviews

This lens is AMAZING. I have it on the Nikon Z50 with the FTZ adapter. So being a crop sensor, it's roughly 130mm zoom equivalent. It's sharp, and man does it perform well in low light. It's also ergonomically perfect on the Z50 / FTZ. It's much easier than carrying around a 70-200 lens. For $480, ya can't beat it. Peeps @ Akron BestBuy were very helpful (full service camera store).

I just got the 85mm f1.8G for my d810. I am very happy with this lens. The lens is really fast, sharp and produces great images in low light.

The lens meets all my criteria for shooting portrait photography. Fast, crisp pictures, accurate focusing. I tend to stay away from low light photography woth macrp lens, since i have faster lens for that. I shoot with a D750, and lens feels comfortably on lens. 50mm tends to not feel as comfortable, sonce its smaller. Affordable price with filter, lens and taxes was a little over $500. If you're shooting portrait photography, you'll make that back in 5 to 7 shoots, short money for a good lens.

beautiful lens for portraiture, very sharp and beautiful bokeh at f/1.8.

This lens is amazing. Everyone loved the pictures came out from shooting with this lens paired with a Nikon D600. The price tag is right when you get one with $100 rebate. This sample image was taken at night with available street lights only at f/1.8, 1/160sec and ISO-320. picture is cropped and resized to 960x641 px.

Baught it for my f100 and so far its been great!. Wish the box didnt look like it was a return, but Best Buys didnt have another one so Ill never know for sure I didnt buy a used one.

I love this lens, it gives me great bokeh and lets a lot of light in. I use it with a DX though, but it takes awesome portrait photos.

Love this lens! Wonderful Bokeh!! If you have a 50mm and find the need for more focal length taking portraits- this a great lens that does not cost an arm and a leg..

For the price, this is a great portrait lens for weddings and such events. Very light and versatile. Image quality is very sharp.

True to its description. Easy to use and auto focus is amazing on a busy shoot day. Always loved this brand so I’m happy to see an affordable lens with quality.

This lens is sharp as a tack. Right our of the Box great results and happy portrait clients!

I love to take photos of my family and pets I got tired of paying a professional to come and take 15 pics and take my $300 ...I invested in a camera and this lens for portraits and it is amazing ! Very clear and the bokeh is wonderful . I get many compliments about the photos I take . Very pleased with the Nikon products. Especially this lens

This lens is sharp even at wide open aperture. Color saturation is amazing and am happy with this choice. Sharpness extends to corners when stopping down to 4 , tack sharp from there on but at 1.8 it is great also. I had to return a lens because of severe color fringing but this copy is not suffering any and am happy with it.

Is a great lens, super sharp and great bokeh, also great for sports!

I bought this for a DX camera so I can shoot High School basketball games. I am pretty close to the action so a zoom was not necessary! The 1.8 and the fact that its a Prime lens makes it an excellent choice. Putting this on the DX gave me about 127mm zoon and when shooting I choose JPEG which gives me even more FPS than if I was shooting raw. I have the option to crop in the camera as well. I love it!!

I’m honestly amazed. Amazing quality even in low light settings. I don’t even have to edit my photos

I love this lens. The bokeh is amazing and it is a super fast lens. Crisp clear images every time even open at its widest.

I absolutely LOVE this lens! It's amazing! Makes my job so much easier. The pictures are so clear! This lens definitely stepped up my photography game. If you do portraits, this lens is a MUST have in your collecting!

Crazy Sharp and punchy colors with very good contrast wide open at f1.8 center to corners.

I picked this lens up as I wanted an 85mm and I wanted to try the f1.8 rather than dropping $1400 on the f1.4. So far, this lens has performed exceptionally.
