This is one of my best lenses. I purchased the lense for indoor, available light photography. Mostly musical performances and dance events. My copy is the non D version and is sharp wide open.
Pros:
- Solid build
- relatively quick
- hunt resistant focus in dim light
- f/2
- sharp wide open
- defocus function
- easily handheld
- price for good used reasonable
Cons:
- Not obvious to me

Dreamy Lens
This is one of my most prized possessions -- the lens is very sharp even at f/2 and produces fantastic images. It is right along the 85mm 1.4 legend, except little less reviewed. On DX the angle is very hard to work with but on FX and film the lens is simply stunning.
Pros:
- wow - bokeh
- sharpness
- saturation
Cons:
- None
- Nada

What a lens
I couldn't wait for this lens to arrive and I was not disappointed. I have been enduring the 18-135 kit lens i got with my D80. I was either using one end or the other of the zoom so decided to get two prime lenses instead.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

Sees better than my eyes do.
This lens is extremely sharp and has the ability to adjust the bokah ( the background blurriness) with a dial on the physical lens. On a digital frame it is over a 200mm range so I recommend using this lens outdoors. It is very solid in its build and has a build in lens hood.
Pros:
- Easy To Set Up
- Easy To Use
- Quality Construction

Amazing Lens
This has to be my favourite lens and without doubt the best I have ever purchased. Of all my Nikon glass, this one is the sharpest wide open - so much so that I only use it wide open. The bokeh is beautiful and the defocus ring adds a subtle softness to the bokeh.

My main portrait lens. Everything look great with this, razor sharp at f2, smooth bokeh, fast, built like a tank. For me the choice between the 135 and 70-200 was the size and weight : I don't want to carry all day long the zoom beast for street portrait photography.
Pros:
- compact
- sharp
- incredible bokeh
Cons:
- purple fringes
- no VR

Get it now because this will be a classic of all classics.
This is without a doubt the best lens for portraits EVER! It is well made in traditional Nikon fashion, without compromises and the best you can own. I highly recommend getting it from Amazon for the best price on the market.

Pros:
- Light weight
- compact telephot with great IQ
- one of Nikons best
Cons:
- Slight CA at some apertures

Best of the best!
The Nikon 135mm f/2 is largely considered to be one of the best lenses on the market. Herealded as one of the best portrait lenses on the market, this lens is razor sharp and produces beautiful bokeh.

My Favorite Portrait Lens
The defocus control function of this lens creates the most appealing bokeh of any lens I know. To my knowledge, no other lens, aside from the Nikon 105mm f/2 DC lens, offers this function.
