A fast f/1.4 aperture makes this lens a standout for sports photography and photojournalism. With Nikon's typical attention to details, its aperture has extra blades, enabling the diaphragm shape to be a near-perfect circle. This ensures crisper images and more flattering highlights in the out-of-focus portion of the image. Close-Range-Correction (CRC) affords superb optical performance from infinity to the closest focusing range of 2.8'. Accepts 77mm filters; HN-31 lens hood. Less

The Nikon 85/1.4D AF IF ";It';s all about ";Bokeh"; Baby!!!";

The Bottom Line: A fast ";Pro"; Quality short telephoto lens with superb resolution, great Bokeh, and fantastic contrast

This reviewer recommends this product.

Review:
Nikon?s Nikkor 85/1.4D AF IF lens harkens back to another era, a time before television became ubiquitous and news was measured in sound bites and ?photo ops?
When men and women with nothing but a camera and a reporter?s notebook traveled...

Probably one of the greatest lenses ever...

by chipouille , Apr 14, 2004

Pros: Incredible sharpness + softness effects, bokeh, build quality, speed, low light abilities, deeeep contrast...

Cons: Maybe the price but it's justified, maybe the AF noise but I don't care...

The Bottom Line: If you're comfortable with the 85mm working distance, this is THE BEST lens you could ever own. This lens is perfect.

This reviewer recommends this product.
