Overview Details Customer Reviews Category Info Accessories Our take on the Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D Lens by Dave Bar Pair Nikon's superbly built AF 85mm f/1.8 lens with your Nikon SLR, and it may become your go-to lens. This "prime" or fixed-length lens delivers sharp, detailed images, with smooth background blur that makes your subjects pop. Its large maximum aperture of f/1.8 takes in lots of light, letting you "freeze" moving subjects, even when shooting indoors without a flash. If you need a lens that snaps exceptional portraits, yet has enough telephoto power to capture action scenes in the mid-distance, you've found it. Need a case for your camera's lens?

Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. I have a D90 and I bought this FX lens; The sharpness, crispness and speed of this glass is awesome. I really love this.

Crutchfield Customer Review The reviewer purchased this item from us, verified by the email address on the order. One stellar fact about this lens is that it's T-stop value is t/1.8. Due to the phenomenal optical design correcting aberrations with a mathematically optimal number of elements via a fast rear-focusing breakthrough, this lens is within 1/3rd of a stop as bright compared to both of the Nikon f/1.4 versions. A T-stop is a measurement of light transmittance based on the f-stop of an "ideal" lens that transmits 100% of light. Rare is the lens which can be rated at the same T-stop as its f-stop; this jewel of a lens is one of those legends. I am planning to buy the 1.8g version of this lens as soon as crutchfield stocks it. Hopefully, that version will overcome the only negative of the 1.8d--which is the automatically rotating rubber focus ring (thankfully, the front element itself does not rotate during autofocus)--without introducing any shortcomings.
