Nikon 85mm f/1.8D

Nikon 85mm f/1.8D
       The Nikon AF Nikon 85mm f/1.8D Lens is a medium telephoto lens that is ideal for all types of general photography. This fast lens boasts an aperture that can open up as far as f/1.8 so that sharp well-exposed images can be taken in almost all available light situations. With a focusing range between 2.8’ and infinity, this is the lens that anyone wanting a 85mm should get. It is ideal for shooting portraits because it allows the photographer a good deal of distance between the lens and subject for lights to be place.


       This is my first prime lens and I'm already in love with it. I put it on my D90 to replace my 18-105mm kit lens. It is very bright and a killer in indoor low light situation. I use it mostly for portrait. I'm warmly recommend it!

      The only incompatibility is that it will not autofocus with the cheapest D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000 or D5100, but if you focus manually, everything else works great. These cameras have in-finder focus confirmation dots to help you.
