I think this is better than the 85mm F1.4

Unless you really need the low light capability of an F1.4, then this is the 85mm full frame lense for you. The images are sharp, and the bokeh is amazing. The auto-focus is not as fast as other lens I have, but this is a lens for portrait work, and not high speed sports. It does not have image stabilisation like the newer Tamron, but again, will you really need it?, just push the ISO a couple of stops if its that important.

This is a full frame lens, it will work with a DX body including all D3xxx, D5xxx, and D7xxx, but it will have an fx field of view equivalent to 127.5mm. If you are looking for a portrait lens and use a crop sensored camera then I would suggest going for the 50mm f1.8 g

Portrait Perfection

Fantastic lens...super sharp, fantastic bokeh and amazing micro contrast....thoroughly recommend. Use it for mainly portrait but very useful for anything needing a short telephoto.

Very fast 1.8 but be careful as there is no VR on this lens so keep the shutter speed up.Read full review

Good portrait lens

Its a good lens if you want to do just portraits. But if you want a more flexible lens, or can only afford to have one good lens in your kit I'd recommend the 50mm 1.4, as its more diverse.

Great Lens... worthwhile upgrade from the 85mm 1.8D

The lens is sharp and focusses silently. The perfect upgrade from my 85 1.8D. Saves you a decent amount of money if you aren't really concerned with the 'Grey import' snobbery!

4 stars only because it's not the 85mm 1.4!!!Read full review

Great lens

This is such a powerful lens, crisp and sharp. Bought primarily for portrait images but I can see it will be used for other genres.

Nikon 85mm f1.8 AFS G

Excellent portrait/short tele lens.
Fast focus and very sharp even at full aperture. Vast saving compared with f1.4 version.
