The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on June 30, 2022 Pros: sharp enough, colors, blurry, precision af. Cons: It does not seem to me that it has any. Opinion: a lens that gives pleasure to use and own. Give each image a touch of art. Very beautiful colors and a sharpness appropriate to the use for which it was conceived. The af quite responsive and definitely precise. Weight and bulk quite contained since we are talking about an 85mm f1.4 for ff reflex. price in line with those of the "pro" line of Nikon. The hood is actually "poor". When you insert it into its bayonet I almost have the feeling that it melts in my hand. the blurred that produces, in my opinion is already worth 'alone the money it costs! Definitely recommended! |
 | sent on November 22, 2021 Pros: Sharpness over the whole frame, contrast, very soft bokeh both behind the subject and in the transition, aberrations completely absent already from f2. Cons: Color rendering a little too much tending to heat, bokeh fringing sensible, blurred front so so, price of the new out of the market. Opinion: Given that obviously we are talking about a lens of the highest level, the mix of performance, weight and autofocus accuracy make it the most versatile 85mm f1.4 for Nikon. I bought it because coupled with my D750 I wanted maximum performance while maintaining portability for my travels and in fact does not miss a beat, almost boring for those like me coming from the previous D. Saturated colors like all modern lenses, it gives excellent shots even in sluggish light conditions where the previous D showed a bit 'the side. However, it maintains a good fidelity even with a temperature significantly shifted towards the heat. Chromatic aberrations very well corrected, a nice step forward compared to the D, except for a bit of imperfection at TA in the area close to the fire where I would have expected an improvement compared to the predecessor and instead it is identical. Easier to use and more versatile compared to the D, compared to this it pays the price of a color rendering of the complexion a little less magical but that in my opinion goes very well with everything else, nature in the first place where it gave me magnificent shots in autumn. The only real objective defect is a bokeh in front of the subject who in critical situations is a little nervous. The bokeh behind instead is even softer than the D (the numerous online tests confirm, those who say the opposite are wrong), but in practice it is difficult to see differences. Referring to my specimens, a TA goes strong, the center is slightly lower than the D but the homogeneity on the frame is far superior, it does not split the hair like the 35 1.4 art or the 180 2.8 but it is fine, then already at f2 it is an absolute blade, I would say that considering all aspects it has about 2/3 stop in favor on the D. If for you the weight is not a problem, the 85 art is an even more performing lens, but since this G also has detail to sell I would evaluate more than anything else which color rendering and level of portability are more for you. If you prefer sweet portraits with more neutral and soft complexions in optimal light conditions, taken for passion and you have the desire and ability to manage a lens a little more difficult, then the D could be the best choice given the economic savings, but with the cost of losing the AF on mirrorless. The price of the new is out of the market but at the price of the used (about € 900 for a specimen equal to the new) is valid. |
  | sent on October 14, 2021 Pros: sharp, blur Cons: hood, price, flare Opinion: Professional portrait lens, there is little to say, gives great satisfaction. Used for about 2 years to do a bit of everything, not just portrait, also because it is a lens light enough to carry with you, compared to others I have had. The photos are already sharp at 1.4 (as long as I can focus on the desired point), absurd blurry and the contrast is good for my taste. I happened to photograph scenes where there were spotlights or light bulbs on and I noticed in the photos of the strange flare, so you have to be a little careful on these occasions. Lens that I recommend to portraitists! Of course, the price of the new in my opinion is absurd, obviously it is better to move to the used where it is between 800/900 euros. |
 | sent on April 14, 2021 Pros: Bokeh, weight, blurry progression, sharpness, backlight yield Cons: Price from new (?) Opinion: Finally after years of use I leave this review. Optics that still manages to amaze me every time I use it, unique character. The bokeh is a little less magical than his 1.4D ancestor but only realizes it if one has them both :D For the rest, to say, at 1.4 it is already sharp, even on z7 I find it too engraved to TA, in fact in the portraits slightly lowered the sharpness. I put the weight in the pros because I think it's the lightest 85mm 1.4 in circulation. It's the optics that every portrait painter should have. Vote 10 |
 | sent on October 29, 2019 Pros: Almost everything Cons: "Ridiculous" lampshade for lens class Opinion: She takes beautiful photos! If it's soft sometimes, there's Photoshop! It's very sharp, it's tridimentional, it manages to make even insignificant subjects look beautiful. I made no comparisons, I am very satisfied (in analogue I used Hasselblad and Leiz to telemeter!). She will never be responsible for a bad photo, but it can help make her beautiful! I forgot: it has dimensions still "human" that allow you to carry it behind, unlike the other "telini" f 1.4. |
 | sent on May 07, 2019 Pros: Blurted exciting, sharpness, build quality Cons: Very high cost of the new and possibly the weight Opinion: I have this lens for a few months and I have to say gives a truly amazing blur, that combined with a good composition, give the image an extraordinary three-dimensionality. For portrait, fashion photography and set portraits is a vision that you would never take away! The build quality is also very good and the autofocus is decidedly fast even if for these genres is not indispensable. The only real flaw that I can find is the price, almost 2000 euros for the new that is really high. |
 | sent on October 06, 2018 Pros: Build Quality Cons: Soft to TA for a lens so dear Opinion: Used mainly only for portraiture, it offers with diaphragms above 2 a breathtaking sharpness and incisive Bokeh. It weighs a bit but comparable with lenses of the same focal length. Good and fast MAF also in counter light. The comparison with the ART series is duty; If I had tried the ART before, I'd probably still have about €800 more in my pocket to buy another art. |
| sent on September 10, 2018 Pros: Definition, blurred, overall quality Cons: Weight, partially, and cost Opinion: Bought by accident, as already covered by two 70/200 and 135 ad. Great versatility of use, from blurry portrait to 1.4 to the landscape at 8; In fact it is one of the lenses that I always carry with me; It keeps head to the ZEISSZF2 and given the automatic MAF, at the end it is preferred. Pleasant construction, even to the touch, although always a little plasticose; Lens hood can be improved. |
 | sent on March 10, 2018 Pros: bright, beautiful boken, color rendering. Cons: soft TA on nikon D750 and a little uncertain with very little light. Opinion: great lens for portraits, I use it on nikon d750 a ta is soft and not very effective improves to 1.8; I use it mainly in evening / night rides where the light is poor (given only by some street lamps) the focus sometimes is uncertain but with a little more light is a blade. fabulous lens also for landscapes to f9 is very detailed and crystal clear not like the competitor canon 1.2 that f9 is less clear. |

 | sent on April 09, 2017 Pros: Dimensions, weight, flare resistance, blurry, colors Cons: Too soft to TA with D750 Opinion: Hi everyone, having used the 1.8 D (with great pleasure for years), I decided to take this model more acclaimed and well described on the web. But I notice that on the D700 and D750 it was too soft for my taste ... While on the D810 it is a blade, engraved and sharp. RnFor pure curiosity I also helped him to do it but a perfect specimen And I missed it! Finally I tried the new 105 1.4 and saw that it was fine with all my car bodies and decided to turn it off. (More for a fixed than for real needs but the monkey is the monkey!) Rnrn |
 | sent on March 20, 2017 Pros: Sharpness, blurred, backlighting construction Cons: Price Opinion: I recently took this optics to use in my D7100, which say sharpness to sell, already at 1.4 if you pay attention you can get excellent results.rnThe blurred is fabulous and has a good resistance to the backlight.rnNonostante the use on DX with crowded sensor this little jewel does not intimidate, I chose 1.4 because the passion for photography leads me to choose bright lenses, then I prefer to stay at home Nikon. I find the construction excellent, the used plastic is robust. If you do not want to compromise and you can spend it I highly recommend it, with the used you can do good business, however I do not disdain the cheapest 1.8G, but ..... |
| sent on February 25, 2017 Pros: Defocused, sharpness closed a little, held to flare and reflections. Cons: Soft at full aperture, plastic, price Opinion: I still use it on D 4 and D 810: AF in the standard, without praise and without infamy, excellent sharpness to diaphragms a little closed, a little 'too soft at full aperture to be a modern optics, has blurry excellent and holds well the flare and the reflections parasites.rnrnThe construction is very lacking, it is all plastic and vile plastic, with a ridiculous lens hood: very high price. |
 | sent on February 23, 2017 Pros: Sharpen, blur, color rendering Cons: Cost, minimum focusing distance Opinion: One of the objectives that most leaves me speechless, fuzzy fantastic soft and well contrasted (but not soft like the older brother 85 D series) rnResa of excellent colors even in backlight! A lens to have! Strongly rnConsiglio the commissioning fine adjustment of focus, in my d750 called a 17 and d810 less than 9 .. |
  | sent on November 18, 2016 Pros: small, light, soft and nice blurred, af good, good yield backlight Cons: sharpness at TA good but not excellent, nothing else Opinion: Optical super under the aspect of manageability, 560gr very few to hold all of this quality. optical perfect for traveling. bokeh scream, pleasant and delicate blur, excellent optics for portrait. Maybe because I'm used to optical super crisp (my first optics were 35 art) I consider Unclear in TA..Ma nothing problematic ... I think I'm used to that too well. Rate 9 |
 | sent on August 27, 2016 Pros: Compact, Sharpness amazing even at full aperture, fast maf, fabulous, precise blurry Cons: high price, slight chromatic aberration on the Green (easily fixed in post) Opinion: A must have lens!! The cost is high, but all the pros I have listed are a guarantee. A must have if it is to be used for business or "wealthy" lovers saw quite high price. solid components and well made, one of the best products in circulation Nikon home. |
| sent on February 19, 2016 Pros: Excellent sharpness already TA, compactness and blurry dream. Cons: High price, addictive. Opinion: I just took this goal, just grafted know immediately that it is a perspective of another planet, the quality is very high optical level and you see immediately executing shots at TA blurred is creamy, magical and sharpness is amazing !. It behaves very well even in backlit thanks to the treatment with nano crystals Nikon. The construction of the barrel is not as excellent as the optical quality is of high quality plastic but still plastic and to be a lens of this magnitude, could do better in terms of materials, it must be said that the weight becomes min to the advantage of portability. Price is important, we are at 1600 Cucuzza obviously Nikon, however, the economic sacrifice is absolutely repaid by the outstanding image quality that churns out, any picture made at room temperature is simply magical and it is for this reason that addictive ... Hard to disassembleby reflex if you are fond of photography from portrait. It is a glass for everyone as both price as features in my opinion, it is a view specification aimed to portraiture in particular from the study, it can be difficult to use in other photographic genres. If you are willing to pull out a lot of money and do a lot of photography from portrait / fashion home Nikon better does not exist today, absolutely it recommended. |
 | sent on November 16, 2015 Pros: speed, solidity, extreme sharpness and great blur Cons: loves 36 mpxl, you see a little you ... Opinion: It's the portrait optics excellence point. The optical performance is stratospheric, slightly better than the already excellent 1.8G brother. But instead of the latter, the body is more massive, the polymer used for the outer coating is much better and inside there is solid metal. Unlike the af, here we finally find one worthy, fast and accurate. The old AFD 85 f 1.4 certainly has more gear than the material, but with regard to optical performance it is obvious that the generation jump. By the way, here is more than a fine calibration of autofocus, and the best method, in my humble warning, is the focus chart. Because? Well, having the graduated scale at 45 ° you will be able to see the exact depth of field by adjusting af to perfection. I have several goals in the house but when I go out with the 810 I use only this%2C the 24 f 1.4G and the 35 f 1.4G. Vote 10 cum laude, noblesse oblige ... rnATTENZIONE: The writer is not an influencer or a guru, nor does one who downloads other images from the network to impute themselves to improbable comparisons. For almost forty years, a passionate nikonist of photography and photographic material has been, and my opinion is not a gospel, but only the result of empirical experience. The objects I write really buy them, I play a few months and if I do not like them, but always and in any case of material at the moment in my possession. I do not make the copy paste of reviews taken here and there on the net, if I'm talking about an item it's just and because I had in the house the time it took (at least months) to try to figure it out. I often go against current, but this does not take my sleep, as far as possible I try to help young aspiring photographers who give a weight to their savings. But, I repeat, I do not bring the verb ... |

 | sent on June 02, 2015 Pros: Sharpness in TA, Sharpness General, Colour Rendering, Defocused, AF, Yield Backlit Cons: Construction, Price Opinion: Here we are on another planet, the planet sharpness: the first time that you cut (and tare properly AF) is really scary, to f4 is sharp as the 200 f2 (f2 in though, the 200 still has, It's a lot...). A f1.4é outrageous, with a full contrast and backlight also still alive. The blur is of exceptional levels although personally I prefer the extremely soft as its predecessor. The AF does its dirty work even in dim light and is never in trouble unlike the previous 1.4D. But not everything that glitters is gold: for what the coast has a very poor construction; of course, what matters is the picture, but when you pay out so much money even the sight and touch takes its part: it's like buying a car with the same performance of a Ferrari but built polycarbonate ... The name is high-sounding but always plastic're talking ... rnVale upgrade dall'1.4D? It depends on the field of use, if you take more than 1.4 and try the best fuzzy no, if the diaphragm and is also used for portraits ambientati yes. Worth buying? Used definitely yes, new opportunities are often found on the Nikon 1300 (NOC ...). The official price Nikon in my opinion is out of the market unless you have a VAT number and download the cost. |
 | sent on May 04, 2015 Pros: Excellent sharpness even at TA, beautiful bokeh, Af very fast and quite accurate Cons: Noticeable vignetting at TA solved in Post Opinion: I bought this lens for a few days so I still can not do a full review, I can say is that having it tested only a few times I was really excited for its clarity and for its beautiful bokeh at f1.4 .... portraits is outstanding !!!! the only thing that does not particularly like is that cartoon does little to TA ... for the rest straconsigliata !!! |
 | sent on September 01, 2014 Pros: One of the best optics in the Nikkor Park. Fuzzy creamy, good sharpness even at 1.4, excellent construction materials, scales the body d800 fine. AF very precise and fast. Cons: Price. Pity that it is not 1.2 like the canon that at full aperture is also sharper than the Nikon (but the Nikon wins in other respects as the precision of AF and sharpness at the edges). It's not VR. Opinion: For the portrait is the absolute top for the nikonists. Excellent autofocus accuracy that even at 1.4 is not wrong a shot. Fairytale Bokeh. Absolutely a must for the fashion professional and portraitist. To the links below you can see examples.

user21824  | sent on January 30, 2014 Pros: Feeling from the first touch, accuracy is his strong point, three-dimensional, bokeh - one of the best, building, strength, contrast, true colors and natural without adding anything artificial, these are the key elements that confirm them in this light fitting and designed for portraits. Cons: Nothing. Opinion: This lens I recommend it to all those who have doubts to buy it and are lovers of portraiture and fashion, I think that the money paid them is worth every last penny. I use it with the D800 and it is a show, there is a perfect harmony between me, the camera body and lens, great for anything else to add. Without a shadow of a doubt recommended. |
| sent on December 06, 2013 Pros: Sharpness throughout the frame, even at high resolution Ta, blurred wonderful, warm colors, bokeh fantastic, almost perfect. Cons: Almost perfect, the only flaw is the price. Opinion: And 'perhaps the best lens inside my kit. It 'really fabulous, the optical excellence if you want to do portraits. There is nothing to add, if your budget allows there is no Nikon lens in the house who can beat him. Compete with the 135 DC, but in my opinion the opening 1.4 decreed the victory. |
 | sent on October 31, 2011 Pros: Sharpness in the center and the edge-light-Fuzzy meravigliso Cons: Some vignetting at full aperture and overcharge Opinion: A telephoto lens great for portraits, able to give you a wonderful bokeh, soft and mellow. Generally, the objectives of this opening with sin in resolution at the edges, this absolutely not. I could also use it for shots of sections of views and was very satisfied. A small drawback, if you can say .... if he had stabilization would be massino! However, without doubt, to recommend! |
