About the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G

Woody Sherman

Many aspiring shutterbugs start out their SLR careers with an 18-55mm kit lens, and that's a great beginning point. But when it comes time to add a new lens to your camera bag, what should you choose? One great choice might be this bright, medium telephoto "portrait length" lens, the Nikkor AF-S 85mm f/1.8G. Its large maximum aperture will give you detailed shots without a flash in low light situations, plus nicely defocused backgrounds that will highlight your chosen subjects. With a focal length of 85mm on full-frame cameras, and 127.5 on DX-format cameras, you'll be taking close-ups and portraits that command your audience's attention.

Features

Overview: The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G lens is a fixed focal length lens with a fast f/1.8 aperture for high quality portraits and other low-light applications. It is designed for use with FX/35mm format cameras, but has been optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both FX and DX-format D-SLRs. When mounted on a DX-format camera, the angle of view is reduced and equivalent focal length becomes approximately 127mm (see Specifications below).

Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC): Nikon's Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare, by enhancing light transmission.

Silent Wave Motor (SWM): The exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables fast, accurate, and quiet auto focus.

Internal Focus: Internal Focus (IF) provides fast and quiet autofocus without changing the length of the lens, retaining working distance throughout the focus range.

Focus Mode Switch: The Focus Mode switch on the barrel of the lens lets you easily switch between manual focus and auto focus. If you want to enable auto focusing, the camera must be set to Auto Focus, and the switch on the lens needs to be set to "M/A". With most Nikon D-SLRs, the lens gives you a manual override option, allowing you to rotate the separate focus ring while pressing the shutter release halfway.

Diaphragm: The lens is equipped with a rounded 7-blade diaphragm, which renders a more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements.

Lens Hood: The lens comes with the HB-62 bayonet-type lens hood. The hood adds approximately 1-5/8" to the overall length of the lens. You can invert the hood and snap it onto the lens for storage, if desired.
