Pros: perfect lens!

Cons: af-c slow

Opinion: perfect glass, but extremely sharp at f1.8, bokeh perfect, the only small criticism of the fact that AF is a little slow, but this is a portrait glass and not for sport. with this lens would give emphasis to chromatic aberrations are not just something to make more serious, or if we ignore the lens is very good as the FF and the body of the Crop

Pros: Sharpness, open aperture performance, silent wave AF, build, handling, lenshood, reasonable price - for its spec and performance

Cons: 67mm filters, f16 minimum aperture, poor closest focus of 80cm

Opinion: Excellent for live music performances and theatre, both in bad light but where freezing action is necessary. Portraits, too, obviously. Bokeh is very good, best I've used myself. Handling is excellent on D7000, usable one handed, if needed. All plastics very high grade, making light but robust. SWM very fast and accurate. 67mm filters larger than the 62mm D lens that it supersedes. f16 min aperture only an issue in landscape work where DOF is needed, but not really a problem for its normal intended usage. Used recently at a winter wedding for candid shots in quite dark church and then at an even darker reception! Was shooting at 1/80 f1.8 iso 3200 and when I managed to get the manually focussed shots in perfect focus, the results were quite amazing. The professionals were using Canon 85mm L f1.2's and they were very impressed by the open aperture performance of this little Nikon - they were stopping their L f1.2's down to f2 as routine. One of the best lens purchases I've ever made. My score 10/10

Pros: Yield, price, size

Cons: nothing

Opinion: Purchased at the end of 2012 and used until the end of 2016, it was the portrait lens with which I shot the most in relation to the actual years of use. Practically perfect. Fantastic bokeh, precise and fast focusing, sublime rendering. All in a lightweight packaging at a competitive price. Unlike the 50mm it did not make the f/1.4 counterpart completely obsolete, but only because the 85mm f/1.4 is an almost perfect lens on the F mount. However, even this cheaper version had nothing to envy compared to its big brother, if not 1/3 stop of light. Superlative. Also replaced this with the Tamron version for a small gain in sharpness and the incredible usefulness of stabilization on the D800/D850. If the tamron had never come out, I would never have felt the need for an upgrade, at least up to 85 f/1.2 on Z mount.

Pros: Bokeh, sharpness, weight, price (both new and used)

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Bought Nital a 569 reluctantly resold to 360 as I had bought used Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4 G. Used for 3 and a half years for portraits almost exclusively only him, I struggled to remove it from the d750 before and z6 after. On mirrorless from its best. It's the first real optics I fell in love with. I appreciate the bokeh, sharpness and weight. I believe that for the photograph I make, it is the right distance between me and the person portrayed. 85 1.4 is better, it has magic colors, but the price of 85 1.8 both new and used is the best compromise for those who do not intend to faint. You make really beautiful photos. Rating 8,5/9-

Pros: Price, bokeh, bright, portable

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Bought after the 50ino for pure female portrait use, mounted on the Nikon D7500 makes me the function of the 135. Excellent for American planes and not only, put to the test I seem to have the older brother of the 50mm but "pushes" even more in terms of bokeh and sharpness. The weight / bulk is absolutely modest compared to other optics, as already noted although the focus is fast, sometimes it loses track on the minimum distance, but personally for the type of photo I do I can adapt quickly. Since I have the 50mm/85mm pairing during the shoots I let go of the multifocals, I often interchange the lenses perhaps too much, but being extremely light and versatile I prefer to take home photos in combos. The shots in raw with this lens are very well manageable in post thanks to their shine. Great price considering the quality and competition.
