NIKON AF-S 85MM F1.8 G LENS

 
  • Medium Telephoto FX-format Lens
  • Silent Wave Motor
  • Super Integrated Coating
  • Filter Diameter: 67mm
  • Offers crisp and natural image reproduction for stills and HD video
  • Fast aperture, medium telephoto portrait lens for exceptional stills and HD video:
  • Designed for use on Nikon's FX-format D-SLR cameras, this updated medium telephoto f/1.8 lens is great for shooting stills or HD videos
  • The AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G features Nikon's Internal Focus (IF) system providing fast and quiet AF and produces sharp and clear images at all apertures
  • Its fast maximum aperture is ideal for taking stills or HD videos under ideal lighting, in low light, head and shoulder portraiture, weddings or concerts
  • When mounted on a DX-format D-SLR, the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G has an effective field of view of 127mm
  • Flattering portraits in any light - Get astonishing low light results:
  • This medium telephoto portrait lens is great for use in the studio, on set or for shooting in available light; producing stills or HD video of people with attractive skin tones and beautiful background blur
  • With its fast f/1.8 aperture, the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G will capture even low-light situations with stunning brilliance
  • Beautiful background blur - Achieve more natural depth of field:
  • When you need to isolate the subject from the background, as when shooting portraits - indoors or outdoors - stills or HD video, the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G renders a beautiful, natural background blur (Bokeh) at its wider aperture settings
  • The beauty is in the details - Designed for digital with superior performance:
  • Nikon's Super Integrated Coating (SIC) enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior colour consistency and reduced flare
  • Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) assures fast, accurate and quiet autofocus as well as full compatibility including autofocus with Nikon's complete line up of FX- and DX-format cameras
  • Internal Focusing (IF):
  • Imagine being able to focus a lens without it changing in size
  • Nikon's IF technology enables just that
  • All internal optical movement is limited to the interior of the nonextending lens barrel
  • This allows for a more compact, lightweight construction as well as a closer focusing distance
  • Silent Wave Motor (SWM):
  • Nikon's AF-S technology is yet another reason professional photographers like NIKKOR telephoto lenses
  • AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon's SWM which converts "traveling waves" into rotational energy to focus the optics
  • This enables high-speed autofocusing that's extremely accurate and super quiet
  • M/A mode (M/A):
  • AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon's exclusive M/A mode, that allows switching from autofocus to manual operation with virtually no time lag?even during AF servo operation and regardless of AF mode in use
  • Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC):
  • To enhance the performance of its optical lens elements, Nikon employs an exclusive multilayer lens coating that helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level
  • Nikon Super Integrated Coating achieves a number of objectives, including minimized reflection in the wider wavelength range and superior colour balance and reproduction

  • 85mm 1.8G vs 85 mm1.4G

  • February 04, 2013
  • By: Hollywood

Sharp all the way through to the edges, GREAT bokeh! Very good build quality and near silent focusing. It performs nearly on par with 85 1.4G...for a quarter of the price! Price for performance this is a no brainer portrait lens. Just get one.

  • Probably my favourite lense in my bag.

  • March 18, 2013
  • By: Josh

I bought this a couple months ago because I thought it was about time to get a telephoto lense. After reading numerous of other reviews, I planned to buy it eventually. I was going to buy a different lense before shooting a show, but it wasn't in stock. So I somewhat impulsively bought this one. Pair this one up with a 35mm, 50mm, and your good to go! I find myself using this to shoot photos of drummers mostly when I shoot concerts, and the results are stunning.
