    Finder is in great condition, but no thanks to the packaging. The finder was loose in the Nikon box with no cover on the prism and no cushioning, and the beat-up Nikon box was put in an outer box with one small air cushion that did nothing. Whoever packed the finder needs to be taken aside and shown how to pack camera equipment. It's amazing there was no damage. Finder is in good condition, the price was good, and shipping was quick.

    Amazingly sharp at f/4 to f/10, great at f/1.8

    For years I had been making do with a nifty-fifty and a 105mm prime, and using one of my zooms to cover anything in between. I finally decided to plug the gap with the Nikon 85 mm f/1.8 D AF. I am impressed. I test new lenses at various distances and apertures with resolution cards and by photographing the landscape around my house. I am shooting with a D7200 and I like to use ISO 200. I shot in A mode. Then I load the NEF 14 bit images in Capture NX-D and go pixel peeping at 250 to 400%. The 85mm prime thing easily edges out the Nikkor 18-300mm zoom at F/4 to f/11, and does well even at f/2.8. At f/1.8 the 85mm starts to look similar to the zoom, but the zoom is at it's maximum aperture of 6.0 ... so the 85mm has a 3+ stop advantage on light gathering. This is ...

    Great lens as expected.

    In near mint condition on the outside but 2 large dust particles on glass that will require cleaning some time. Otherwise as good as new. Dust like this in a non-breathing zoom is of concern. Was the lens opened at some point ? I will have to get it checked out which will cost extra off course.

  • Real value for money

    I bought this from eBay near about one month before and used this at my last shoot. I must say the result is far far better than 85mm f/1.4D. It produce unimaginable sharp image. It is light weight and of course good value for money. Now I am planning to sale my 85mm f/1.4D...LOL I am a portrait photographer and I never detached this lens from my camera and it became my must lens in my bag. If you are a portrait photographer, you should have this lens in your bag.

  • Perfect lens for filming interviews

    I make documentaries. Through the years, I've been searching long and hard for the "perfect" lens to use for the sit down interview shot. This is what I came up with. The lens is fast, with a beautiful creamy background behind the interview subject. It's really the ideal length from the camera to the interview subject to the background. That's my only purpose here for my use with this lens...but it is the best tool for the job for video due to it's manual features. Quality all the way.

  • Classic Manual Portrait lens

    The construction on my sample is excellent, though the focus ring is on the loose side. I have an 85mm f2 on which the focusing is more damped. I use this lens on a Fujifilm X-Pro 1 with an adapter. It looks fantastic, and the pictures are lovely. On the down side, the lens is wider towards the front, and so it tips the camera forwards.
