Pros: Sharpness, precision, image quality, speed of focus

Cons: At the beginning it is difficult to understand the function of Defocus

Opinion: Objective that I think is suitable for different photographic uses. I've been trying it for a few months for Still Life and Food, and I have to admit that it gives me more satisfaction than other so-called "food or stiil life" lenses. The only thing that is not easy to understand at the beginning is the special defocus function. The construction is excellent and on the d500 you leave well to handle.rnPrice - Quality ... scondo me right! There are lenses around that have a price totally disproportionate to what is then the quality. On this high-end lens the price is worth.rn

Pros: Strong construction ergonomics also pleasing to the touch.

Cons: insufficient compared to what I expected.

Opinion: One of the first goals I have used in the past with the Nikon D3, along with an AF-S 14-24mm f / 2.8 G ED. For me it was a great disappointment at the time, perhaps because I had too many expectations about that. At the same time, I also had a Canon kit (1D MK IV and 5D Mk II) with several L optics including 85 f 1.2 and 135 f 2, I expected 105 F 2 Defocus Control, wrong, something like a middle ground that would do it it looks like a potty at the yield of Canon 135 f2 L and 85 f 1.2 but I was illusing. From the very first results I immediately realized that the approach was unpredictable for both the focal length completely different from that of its intrinsic quality that I am very disappointed with. She gave me flat pictures, with no depth of volume and a blur that I could never let it go down. rnrnVisually direct comparison with more powerful optics has played an important role in forming my personal opinion on this lens, which I find unjustifiably exquisite with respect to what is in gglad to return.

Pros: Constructive and optical quality

Cons: It should be used from f / 2.2 (I use it on D810)

Opinion: At f / 2 is not great, 2.2 things change completely and becomes clear, at 2.5 even better, I usually use it at 2.5. Given its long focal length and the absence of VR combined with a AF that is very good but not comparable to the new AFs (professional ones) it is quite difficult to have perfectly still images in poor lighting conditions but when it stops is crazy, sharp not in the way of new goals because it is not ultra-contrasted so it is a "latent sharpness" however with minimal post processing it comes out all and really amazes. The blur is soft and the soft colors of this lens create in the blurry areas of the beautiful pastel colors, the light spots come bellerrimi! I use it almost exclusively for ceremonies and even in those only in conditions where the subjects are fairly static. rnrnE 'a portrait optic, this is undeniable, but used for closed diaphragm views is a blade, af / 11 has a quality%3B superlative, is practically free of vignetting and optical distortions are zero. Is not an optician for every day? No, it is not at all. Have you tried other 105 unstable and believe they are stupid and think you can use it in critical light without any problem? You are terribly wrong, this does not forgive any mistakes in your own, or in the car! But when the pictures that come well repay all the effort they need to accomplish them. Not recommended for those who do not have much experience and are highly advised to others, one of the optics you have to have. RnrnThe defocus ... bah, never used unless for testing.

Pros: Made in Japan, Sharpness at the center already f.2, boken, AF precision, colors, solid body from the ring to the lens hood integrated metal

Cons: AF should be made a fine adjustment in the car, then it's perfect

Opinion: arrived two years ago with a trade-in for a Sigma 70-200, immediately amazed me the solid construction as old Nikon School, unfortunately I used initially only f2.8, convinced it was a bit 'soft, then I calibrated +7 af fine and there only positive note is the favolosornsinceramente Defocus never use it, but most do not know usarernBelllissima lens, rimarraà life in my kit

Pros: Flawless construction, built-in lampshade, excellent sharpness, but "discreet", not as aggressive as some newer optics.

Cons: Needs careful focus calibration. Activating the defocus unfortunately the sharpness is also affected on the plane of m.a.f.

Opinion: I used it earlier on the D700, and I loved it. Very sharp, but made "delicate", very pleasant, never "aggressive". The D750 I own now is much more demanding... and I struggled to find an acceptable fine-fire adjustment. I almost always use it with the defocus in a neutral position (disabled), because some home tests have shown that the drop in sharpness is conspicuously noticeable even on the focus plane. I have no idea if it's a common feature... or if it is a problem of the specimen in my possession. I'm going to have to know... UPDATE.i.A. I recommend, to those who plan to buy it, to try it on their own camera, in order to ascertain the presence of front /Back focus. For this reason I highly recommend its use on cameras with fine calibration, since otherwise any problems mentioned above, are difficult to solve even at the service centers (reliable source: technician of Nital origin) Fortunately the specimen I currently have is perfect. even on the D850, very "demanding" camera.

Pros: defocus, good even at room temperature, built-in hood, excellent portrait lens, solidity.

Cons: It requires practice defocus but is used well without.

Opinion: With 135 are the only lenses that allows to fade back and forth to soggetto.rnMeglio close the iris with defocus to keep incisività.rnForse a bit long as the focus on portrait, a 85 would be better but having used not rimpiango.rnSolido and well fact, used to be a bargain. A little slow happen in my opinion.

Pros: Excellent sharpness, strength, brightness. In addition, the Defocus Control, although I have not used much.

Cons: I can not find fault.

Opinion: At the time I preferred to His Majesty the 85mm 1.4. I have not ever regretted it because I consider it excellent, especially in the portrait. Over time, the price has remained stable, while 85 reached high prices. Joyful Mysteries of the market. A DC off, has excellent sharpness, a real blade. Another strength is its color rendition. And then the robustness: no plastic, only metal. Nevertheless, it is not heavy.
