Pros: Lens impresses with its sharpness and speed. Beautiful blur. Lens is lightweight.

Cons: Sometimes it gets lost at f1.4. There are no other defects. In Poland, there is little affordable price higher grade lenses.

Opinion: I think that the lens is recommendable to all lovers of photography people and portraits. Things you can do with this lens pass by expectations. Unfortunately I did not G series for comparison, but I think even I would not want to replace. I'm working on the D7000 and earlier this lens I had attached to the Fuji S5Pro and check just as well. I highly recommend this lens.

Pros: Perfect value for money, exceptional colour rendering and blur, perfect even at large openings

Cons: A bit bulky but part of the game

Opinion: I use it on NIKON F3 and FM2 FE2 FG EM perfect from 2.8 size used on the NIKON D600 still perfect from 1.8 also here cuts and blurs as the great lenses must do Take it if you find it worth every penny it costs now it is around 450€ I recommend it better than the ais had and sold and the AF 1.4 G Tried ... There is no comparison

Pros: Construction and yield

Cons: for what "nothing" offers

Opinion: It will depend that I am a lover of art, shapes and what today is of no interest if not in part, but in this "object" I have found those sensations and that taste for taking photos that has been lost a bit over time. I understand that the world "goes" on, but perhaps the harmony that accompanied the functionality of the "object" has been neglected a little too much. I think.....

Pros: My favorite lens

Cons: Addictive

Opinion: I also played with Canon's l85 L II 1.2, but this one has a better blur and unmistakable pastel colors while maintaining a great sharpness for those looking for selective maf at TA, I didn't expect Nikon to have this gem, the best 85 ever, it makes you lose the desire for the 135mm because it has a detachment that I have never seen in other lenses

Pros: Spectacular bokeh, perfect for portraits.

Cons: No one in its kind.

Opinion: I am not a "portraitist", but when I happen to do some portraits, this lens gives me great satisfaction, it makes real miracles. For me it's fantastic. An exceptional bokeh, I follow those who have defined this lens "the cream machine": it deserves this name in full. Worth all the money spent, I recommend it. For me I vote 10.
