Nikon D500 + 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 G ED VR Zwart

This review applies to the AF version. This is a sweet lens, probably the sweetest lens Nikon makes when it comes to bokeh and appearance. The 70-200 appears to be slightly sharper.

Well, what do I say ??? This is just a SUPERB lens in every respect. I find it very clean and sharp at most settings. Perhaps a tiny bit soft wide open but that's a bonus for close up portraiture. Great in low light situations with that fast maximum...

There are lenses and then there is this lens! I have some high quality lenses including a 45mm Zeiss for my Contax G2. This lens easily is as good as that lens. At least in a 4x6 print. My most displayed prints come from this 85mm lens. I put in some...

The best portrait lens I''ve ever used. Tack sharp and easy to focus in low light.

This baby is so sharp that it sometimes gets annoying!

This is an excellent lens for photographing people, esp. under available light. This lens gives real and natural images of people. A portrait lens not necessary is a super-duper-razor sharp and harsh lens. It must give life to the images of people. To...
