Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G

 

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G is a light and compact lens that's ideal for portraiture. It's quite sharp, and equally affordable.

Excellent sharpness. Minimal distortion. Wide aperture. Inexpensive.

Lacks optical stabilization. Limited close focus capability.

Getting this kind of optical performance for $500 is a treat, especially when you consider that similar f/1.4 lenses from Zeiss and Nikon can cost more than twice as much. The close focus distance is a little limiting, but if you're a macro shooter...

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G Review

 

Optically, the AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G is excellent, which given its reasonable price tag is a very nice surprise. Sharpness is excellent in the centre from f2.8 to f/11, with f5.6-f/11 producing the sharpest results at the edges of the frame. Bokeh is...

Nikon 85mm f/1.8G AF-S Nikkor Review

 

Nikon has produced an excellent update to the long-lived 85mm ƒ/1.8D: while autofocus performance isn't quite as fast in the 85mm ƒ/1.8G, the majority of photographers using this lens probably won't be using it in applications that demand superfast...

Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G review

 

The Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G brings portraiture to the masses

Compact and lightweight ; Solid build quality ; Impressive performance

Slower than an f/1.4 prime ; No optical stabilization ; Not extensively weather-sealed

Small, fast and sharp, this lens costs less than a third of the price of Nikon’s AF-S 85mm f/1.4G lens. If you can live without the extra two-thirds of an f/stop of the faster lens, the f/1.8 is much better value and is still capable of delivering...

Nikon 85mm f/1.8 G Review

 

If you intend to use this new lens on one of Nikon's cheaper DSLRs that lacks its own AF motor, get this 85/1.8 G lens.
