Limited but very special qualities.
It suits my way of raking pictures and produces film-like images I love.

A special product that gives special results.
3 of 3 found this helpful The Dream machine; that's its nic-name. Apart from being a dream to use, it produces dreamy images, combining divine clarity with angelic haze, if that's what you want. It produces images like no other lens I've used and mounted on the front of an FX body, it gives me perfect preview too. A dream it truley is and being caught without it would be my worst nightmare.
I've given it 5 stars for picture quality because for the work I do, portraits, it is fault-free. Size and weight also gets a 5 because although it is heavy, this adds to stability when off-tripod. As for size, well, it couldn't be that fast if it wasn't that big. Its size also lends to the impression of professionalism, and inspires confidence both sides of the glass.
In terms of value for money; how do you put value on the best? It is what it is and that comes at a price but the results have a far greater and higher form of value than can be measured in mere currency. If you're insisting on perceived monetary value though, it's worth remembering that unlike the bodies, the cared for lens's do not depreciate much, if at all. So the chances are, you'll get your money back if and when you ever sell them. What else can you say that about, these days?
For portraits, the lens doesn't need to focus quickly and very often, mine's switched to manual focus anyway. Having said that, the auto-focusing is pin-sharp but it could be, that for other uses, the auto-focus may not be fast enough. The hood mount is a little bit fiddly, being metal and threaded but again for my main use, the hood is hardly ever used.
As with all things, it's a matter of purpose and if, like mine, it's portraits the Nikon AF D 85mm - F/1.4 is one of two of the best lenses in the world; the other one being the Nikon 135mm - F/2 DC, arguably, the best of all.
