Incredible and versatile 135 prime...
I own a series of Nikkor AF-D lenses that span the 50-180mm spectrum and allow me to capture excellent portraits in a variety of scenarios (50/1.4, 60/2.8, 85/1.4, 105/2, 135/2, and 180/2.8). Among these, the 105 and 135 DC-Nikkors are my favorite.

Nice Glass
Took this out for a good test run today to see how this great lens would work on some street shooting I was impressed. The bucket drummer was back lit on a street corner with sun light reflecting off every shiny surface it could tough light to say the least Nikon got it right here!

The definitive portrait lens. Old but not obsolete.
I was not expecting this lens to be as sharp as it is. It immediately threw out any reservations I had about DOF and focus accuracy, This is a purpose built portrait lens. It does have good contrast however Nikon designed it in a way to enhance skin tones at the expense of reds and oranges.

One of the best portrait lenses
DC function is noticeable, 135/2 is good for full portrait or half body pictures.

Nikkor AF 135mm f/2 D DC - Review / Test Report
The build quality of the lens is excellent thanks to combination of metal and plastic parts with a Nikon "pro style" crinkle finish. The length of the lens remains constant regardless of the focus setting and the front element does not rotate due to an RF (Rear Focusing) design.

Quality Control Issues
The lens produces stunning images when manually focused. The AF system however is very finicky and the sample I got front-focused horrendously. Even +20 compensation did not resolve the problem.
Pros:
- Nice Bokeh
Cons:
- Blurry Focus
- Slow Focus

Lens Test: Nikon 135mm f/2D AF DC-Nikkor
Nikon's DC-Nikkor family is only two lenses deep, comprising just this one and a 105mm f/2. A full-frame lens, this 135mm f/2 ($1,080, street) converts to about 200mm on a Nikon D80.

one of Nikon's jewel. Work in portraits? this is your lens then. the "DC" means it has the magic for bokeh control.. and the bokeh is as delicious as promised. The lens also has that sturdy nikon-classics build. Nikon should really update this lens.
Pros:
- Image quality
- build quality
Cons:
- slow AF
- old design
