Nikon AF NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4D IF Pro Reviews

slrgear‘s review Edit

The 85mm ƒ/1.4D has been a class-leader for many years, and for many portrait photographers, ''the'' go-to lens. It doesn't take much to get outstanding images out of this lens, and if you want to shoot images with razor-thin depth-of-field, or in extremely low-light conditions, this is one of the few ƒ/1.4 options left. But as Nikon introduces technological innovations in its line of pro zoom lenses, die-hard prime lens shooters must be starting to get itchy for some innovation as well. In the final analysis this is the kind of lens that you already know if you're going to buy and just need the reassurance of a test review to help you part with your money. Sign the cheque or swipe the card - the lens is worth it.

photozone‘s review Edit

The Nikkor AF 85mm f/1.4 D delivers very good to excellent sharpness in the image center, is basically free of distortion and produces very creamy and pleasing bokeh. Vignetting is of course visible wide open, but actually well under control for such a large aperture lens. CAs are moderate and usually not fiel relevant.
