Flattering portraits in any lightGet astonishing low light results   This medium telephoto portrait lens is great for use in the studio, on set or for shooting in available light; producing stills or HD video of people with attractive skin tones and beautiful background blur. With its fast f/1.8 aperture, the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G will capture even low-light situations with stunning brilliance.   The beauty is in the detailsDesigned for digital with superior performance   Nikon's Super Integrated Coating (SIC) enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced flare. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) assures fast, accurate and quiet autofocus as well as full compatibility including autofocus with Nikon's complete line up of FX- and DX-format cameras.   Beautiful background blurAchieve more natural depth of field   When you need to isolate the subject from the background, as when shooting portraits indoors or outdoors stills or HD video, the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G renders a beautiful, natural background blur (Bokeh) at its wider aperture settings.

Great portrait lens.

Love this lens for portrait work. It's used mainly on my D850 and is super sharp even when shot wide open which is how I shoot most of my headshots.

Great Portrait Lens

Very fast lens with wonderful clarity using my Nikon D810. I've shot a couple thousand photos both indoor and outdoor and I have nothing but positive things to say.

Great lens!

It is lacking the old Nikon quality with its plastic build, but the glass is all there, and so is the tech! I would recommend this lens to anyone

A superbly sharp lens!

superb lens with nice bokeh.  Also, the fixed, fast aperture is useful for indoor sports that do not require a longer focal length.

Fast medium focal length lens

it?s a Nikon.  What else is there to say.  Fast, crisp, compact lens.  Works flawlessly.

Great lens

I LOVE this lens. It's awesomely bright for easy viewing and outstandingly sharp.

This lens rocks!

I like it for portraits. Good value: the f/1.8 gives nice backgrounds without breaking the bank.

standard portrait lens

My go-to lens for all my portraits and senior sessions. Going to upgrade to the 1.4 soon but this is an excellent starting lens and something I would have in my kit all the time.

Go-to Lens of choice.

beautiful inexpensive lens that works great for portraits, nice sharp focus and soft buttery bokeh when shooting wide open.

great inexpensive lens

Amazing lens for the price. Great subject isolation and 85 is the perfect portrait focal length. Very versatile and pretty decent speed for lower light conditions. Would recommend

Great first prime lens

I received the 85mm a few weeks ago and I did not have time to test it properly with my Nikon D850 yet. The dozen of pictures I have taken look nice and sharp and with great bokeh. I am not a professional photographer but I bought this product with the intention to start a professional activity hopefully in the near future. As far as I can tell, it is a great lens and I am looking forward to shooting more (people and animal portraits) and using all its potential.

Nice lens

Decent lens, works fine, but feel an f/1.4 is worth the extra money if looking for something better in low-light.

Average lens

Adorama shipped my 85mm lens very securely with all factory parts. I highly recommend purchasing a Nikon refurbished product from a reputable seller like Adorama. This lens is my new favorite, over my Nikon 50mm, for wedding photography and more!

Essential Lens in Perfect Condition

I had been looking at other lens that were 2-3x more expensive and maybe a bit faster. I just did not want to break my bank. I read review after review of this lens. They were all spot on. I am so happy with it. I am taking portraits and they are exactly what I want. I would recommend this lens.

Great lens for the price ... great lens period!

I love this lens. The smooth and creamy background is beautiful and perfect for portraits. Colors are amazing and sharp!

Amazing. Buy it!

I bought this lens based on a book I recently read called ?Photographing Women?. It goes in-depth about different poses, shapes of faces, and which lens are suitable for certain subjects/scenarios. 

This is my favorite lens to date and I love how creamy the background looks !!

My favorite lens

Great Lens

Great lens. I love how light that it is. I am not used to a non zooming lens, but I do like how it is not as heavy as my other ones and it is easy to change in and out.  Takes great portrait pictures. I was pleasantly surprised.

Great portrait lens

I’m absolutely in love with this lens. For the price, it’s spectacular. The 1.4 f-stop just doesn’t have enough features to make it worth that crazy price, and I definitely don’t feel like I’m settling with the 1.8. It’s smooth, it’s clean, and the photos are flawless. If you’re a side hobby photographer like me, you’ll want this lens for any portraits!!

Love, love, and more love.

totally awesome lens, great boke, super sharp

Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 lens

Christmas gift for my granddaughter. She loves the new lens.

Christmas gift

Great lens with great price,

It is a lot different from mt 50 MM I do like it, especially for Videos.

My Video goto Lens

I use this for all my portraits. It's sharp and lightweight. I don't shoot portraits more wide open than f1.8, so this is a great value. I love this lens!

Best Portrait Lens For Your Dollar

Very good lens

One of my best lens I've purchase on this site!!!

Amazing

THE LENS I RECEIVED WAS NOT A US MODEL.  NOW I CANNOT GET IT REPAIRED.

I have been shooting Nikon since 2014. I use a mixture of third party lens as well as Nikon. I have been debating between the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 and several other products for quite a few months (reading other consumer reviews and looking at videos). I finally decided to go with Nikon and I am very pleased with my decision. It's an inexpensive gem of an 85mm lens. Wide open it produces excellent, flattering  portraits with beautiful background blur. Street shots and landscapes are detailed with excellent color,contrast and clarity. I love the fact that I have a medium telephoto that does not make my D 810 or DF to heavy. Great buy and Adorama was quick and easy with delivery and packaging
