87 of 88 people found the following review helpful An oustanding portrait lens for both film and DSLR, November 21, 2006 By This review is from: Nikon 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics) A exceptional portrait lens for both digital and film, the Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D is usably sharp wide open and tack sharp by the time you stop down even just a bit. Relatively small and very light, it feels just right in my hand. Steve McCurry is one of my favorite photographers and I was happy to discover that many of his great shots were taken with this lens.
Also, if you shoot on a manual focus body like the F3, you'll like the solid but smooth feel of the focus ring.
The 85mm comes with a metal, screw-on hood. My preference is the plastic bayonet mounts, but I find that I don't need the hood that often since this lens doesn't tend to flare.
Two minor complaints about this lens: first, the bokeh is not exceptional. That's OK; I'm not a bokeh hound. But when I see the creamy out of focus specular highlights that the 85mm f/1.4 produces, sometimes I dream about spending the extra money.
Second, I wish it were AF-S. But even without AF-S, it... Read more
118 of 124 people found the following review helpful Wonderful lens, especially for crop-size DSLRs, February 4, 2009 By This review is from: Nikon 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics) I like the 85mm focal length very much. On a Nikon crop-size DSLR, the 85mm focal length is a very useful short-to-medium telephoto length, giving a nice field of view with just enough distance compression to get a pleasant telephoto perspective. This lens' wide aperture gives plenty of control of depth of field, allowing you to isolate your subject and get just the right amount of defocus elsewhere in the frame. I tend to prefer to use it at f/2.8 or so, although having the ability to go to f/1.8 is certainly useful at times.
A few notes on specific performance issues, some of which seem to be in disagreement with others here:
- I would not characterize the lens as very sharp wide open. I've sampled three of these lenses, two "AF" models and one "AF-D" model. The AF-D was the best. Like any lens I've used, it loses sharpness at wider apertures, and I would characterize it as soft at f/1.8, still moderately soft at f/2.8, good at f/4, sharp at f/5.6 and... Read more
86 of 92 people found the following review helpful Excellent compact moderate telephoto lens, July 30, 2005 By This review is from: Nikon 85mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics) If you don't need the speed or can't afford the expensive 85mm f1.4 Nikkor lens or both, then this lens may be the right one for you. It took Nikon a while to produce a superb compact 85mm lens, but this time they finally got it right. Without a doubt, this is a fine portrait lens for photographing head-and-shoulder portraits (The only lens which is optically better is Nikon's legendary 105mm f2.5 Nikkor lens, and its close optical twin, the 105mm f2.8 Micro Nikkor.). Since the 105mm f2.5 Nikkor lens doesn't have an autofocus version, then this might be the perfect moderate telephoto lens for owners of Nikon autofocus SLR cameras. Regardless, this lens has a well-earned reputation for excellent contrast and resolution.
