Pros: Bokeh, Sharpness, colors

Cons: both new and used price, weight

Opinion: I was and am a happy owner of the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G (used). I watched many videos, photos and even read reviews before buying it new. In September 2022, thanks to the discount in the Nital cash register, the monkey left me. I am very happy to have bought a little less the bank account. I struggle to detach it from the z6, it will also be perhaps the fact of the novelty but objectively it is better than the 85. If you have budget I recommend the 105 otherwise already the 85 will give you great satisfaction. Sore note: at the end of the day I assure you that the 400 grams that he thinks more than the other you feel them both on the neck and on the back. Vote 10

Pros: A very sharp lightweight lens, practical unsurpassed quality

Cons: Just the price a little high but worth it

Opinion: I tried this lens so many times I found myself in wonder not bought it because I have the first 105 2.8. macro that I use for life style photos and macros,but for portrait photos the 1.4 I recommend it for its exceptional blurry effect and sharpness of the photos created. The focus and very velece compared to the first version even the sensitivity of light makes it more effective

Pros: Sharpness already in T.A. bokeh, three-dimensionality, A.F. colors.

Cons: Price

Opinion: Great lens in my opinion, with a sharpness at full jaw-dropping opening. Compared with the Nikon 85 f1.4G, there is no history until 2.8 then the gap narrows. Compared to the Zeiss 100 Planar Makro f2, and again it is successful (sharpness, bokeh, shadow opening) but the Zeiss has more micro contrast. The weight of the footprint and the maneability are more than acceptable, considering the type of lens and especially when compared with the Sigma Art 135, not to mention the 105 Art decidedly out of standard. Compared to the Zeiss above it has above all the boast of the AF and an extra diaphragm. His Achilles heel is the price for both the new and the used. Recommended if it fits in your budget, better used also because it is easily resold.

Pros: Great sharpness, easy resale

Cons: cost, weight, footprint, flare, color drift

Opinion: Hyper-charged lens (for what it's worth), for the first period of use is also able to enhance: the af engine is quite fast, excellent sharpness and that sense of presence that makes the enthusiast who shelled out a kidney feel "photographer" to buy it. But don't be fooled by the over-enthusiastic reviews of those who have never had anything better in their hands. Because then... then you start to make him fleas and you see that the flare he takes is really important, the colors that at first - thanks to the enthusiasm and brilliance given by the dwarf crystals - looked beautiful actually veer sometimes towards a green and sometimes towards a magenta, depending on the light conditions. Embarrassed by this discovery you continue to fleas him and discover - naturally testing in double blindness - that the portrait lenses you have in the house are all superior, while costing them all less (Zeiss 100 Makro Planar, Zeiss 135 Apo Sonnar, Art 105 f 1,4). And superior in everything from sharpness both in the center and on the frame edge, to the bokeh, to the color fidelity. In addition to everything the packaging is very poor, in practice the usual box with a new cardboard support for optics, this time they abolished the classic transparent plastic shell. From a lens of this price you would expect a worthy case, such as that of 24-70 or 300 PF and instead no, there is the usual bag that you also find on the 50 f 1.8, as if to say that to misery there is never an end! And at this point you get like a beast, and the only thing that consoles you is you bought it second-hand and that - thankfully - there are a lot of Nikonist Taliban around ready to get it out of your hand! And then it turns out that anyway you keep it because in the nikon house of better there is not, because art weighs and clutters a bang and finally because the zeiss do not have the automatic AF. Sic transit gloria mundi, I keep giving money to nikon but frankly I don't know until...

Pros: Sharpness,Bokeh,Colors,Magic

Cons: Weight

Opinion: Every now and then and perhaps he should do it more often,Nikon pulls out optics that are bound to remain in history for their value and their peculiarities. We always talk about high-priced optics and often addressed to the world of professionals or wealthy amateurs. Specifically, the 105 1.4 leaves open-mouthed for the very sharpness to all diaphragms, something that very few famous optics of other brands manage to do. I own and I love Canon's 85 1.2, but as soon as I got my hands on this Nikkor I said, "It's done!.. This outclasss the Canon at all levels!" While the peculiarities, i.e. the ability to introduce unpredictable and beautiful variables in the final image, are different for the two optics, the Nikkor has the advantage of expressing all its incredible sharpness from the maximum opening and provide an extraordinary performance where the Canon to make it best must be closed at least a couple of diaphragms. The focus is quiet and precise, the pairing with the D850 is superb and is one of the recent Nikon optics able to enhance and "hold" such a large number of MPx. On Z6, same amazing performance, with AF fast and perfect,but in addition it becomes stabilized. It must be said that it is a heavy beast but well built and resistant to dust and weather. It is used with the discomfort of weight, but with the certainty that in the world, today, there are very few optics able to do better, especially in light of the money needed to have it. Another world... Thank you,Nikon!

Pros: blurred, colors, etc....

Cons: a little bit of the weight

Opinion: I do not know what to add to how good has already been written on this wonderful lens, it gives that extra something as right to claim from a professional perspective of this level. I went to the store to do some test shots and came home with the lens attached to the reflex. Magical, addictive attention!

Pros: Sharpness, Bokeh, three-dimensionality in images

Cons: Weight

Opinion: Among the most beautiful fixed I have had, the bokeh is something fantastic, the color rendition I like a lot, the autofocus is fast and accurate, and has a fantastic three-dimensionality, which say I love it! I also had the 85 1.4 G which is an equally wonderful lens, but this one has so much to teach, I recommend it!!

Pros: Sharpness, chromatic rendition and Bokeh never before seen

Cons: I've had it for two years but I can't find

Opinion: Since I got it it's really hard to remove it from the car... of my fairly large park lenses (which is not bad at all, in terms of brightness) This lens is for me altogether the best product from Nikon that I have owned. Unique micro-Pecca weight, problem that is more than clouded by the photographic rendition really extraordinary. It costs a bit but I return back I would always buy it anyway.

Pros: Sharpness, Bokeh, Af Accurate, color rendering

Cons: Do not have it! If we want to be precise the lens really ridiculous for the lens that is ... and on some occasions the AF is slow and does not immediately hook

Opinion: It's a wonderful optics I also own the 85 Art but this is wonderful .... It has a creamy focus and is the focal length for me perfect for portrait or fashion photos. I also had the defocus, but this has 2 or 3 more marches. It is quite heavy and cumbersome but I have to say that on machines like D5 it is a wonder. Absolutely recommended this is a Nikon masterpiece.

Pros: Sharpness, three-dimensional images, wonderful bokeh.

Cons: It's heavy, expensive, and bulky.

Opinion: I bought this lens after using the excellent 85 f1.4G for years. rnA little bit of curiosity (the monkey), a bit because the longest focal seemed more suitable to the portrait and more practical to use .. i can say it's the lens to have, the weapon that resolves to bring home always and Anyway, great shots! rnTouch the subject from the background magically, it has no rivals for sharpness and bokeh. The eyes of the subjects seem to live in every picture, shiny and shining. An absolute masterpiece.

Pros: Clearly crisp, accurate, blurry magic ... what do you want more?

Cons: It suffers to blink in the backlight ... Heavy ... it's worth it ... it's plasticous (can not do them all like that of the 70 200 vr2?) Expensive ...

Opinion: Since I have this optic for outdoor I no longer use any other optics..and that's all because I have optics like 35 and 50 art..70 200 vr2 nikon..rnAnd when I want to frame more scenarios i prefer to do some pad back if i can I'm literally in love with this optic .. it has a creamy blur and a sharpness at 1.4 absurd..just what I look for in an optician.rnCosta a botto ... I had to sell 58 and 85 1.4 nikon to pick it but the gear is Worth the money. Recommended

Pros: Sharpness, Color Rendering, Bokeh,

Cons: Size, Price

Opinion: Optical MONSTROUS !!! rnNon'm no expert but a mere amateur photographer! Despite this the optics is immediately appreciated by the novice like me! RnNitidezza sublime, superb color rendering and bokeh fabulous! rnMi stop here because it's all been said by those who are more competent than me! rnAggiungo just that I'm very satisfied of purchase and that the optics has gone far beyond my expectations! rnBuona light to all.

Pros: Sharpness, chromatic rendering, bokeh, focus.

Cons: Size, and ... price.

Opinion: A fabulous look for its speed (f / 1.4), its delicate bokeh and the impressive rapidity of engagement in the focus. It is indispensable in portraiture where it delivers soft files with balanced tonal transitions without exaggerating in macrocontrasto such as the series Nikkor G.rnTherefore, we will have a proper management of the shadows to the benefit of the diminished eventual post-production. "The" one hundred and five "length, perhaps wrongly wronged by those who like me is not a portraitist, is living a while his second youth in a ' Time dominated by zoom; It also reveals amazing ductility in generic photography, enabling us to capture inexhaustibly, but essentially, those details that always make a difference. The only defect it has, the price apart: a big "barilozzo" to accompany , But it repays when his left hand supports him in the box, giving us beautiful pictures, live and feel. Employed in coupled with the D810 ... leaves speechless the intI was a planet. Try to believe.rn

Pros: really all

Pros: Brightness, sharpness, robust design, lens hood

Cons: Nobody.

Opinion: I got to try this wonderful lens for a series of portraits in a not very bright room. Due to its brightness, I was able to take many pictures without flash. I used it on my D750 and the result: AF speed, brightness, shots TA have shown me that the new 105 is a great Nikkor lens. At this point it may come to doubt the choice between this lens and "85 f1.4" ... from an economic point of view, does the second choice, but if you try that little bit extra, you can opt for the 105 .rnDa a technical point of view, although it is not an expert, I find that they are quite similar the two lenses. Surely spending to deal with both the 105 and for "85" is considerable, but if you want to get good results, you have to deal with the bill! He rnForse the only flaw, after the price of 105 could be the weight: two pounds after a while 'is felt; for me is not a problem I'm used to bazooka birdlife ... rnComprarlo or not to buy it? But it is obvious: be bought absolutely!
