Nikon 85mm f/1.4G AF-S Nikkor review by timtomgo

There is nothing bad to say about. If there is a weakness it could be its relative lack of sharpness at 1.4 in the center COMPARED to the sigma and the canon. This is mostly because of CA's, once removed in post processing you almost wouldn't see the difference honnestly.
Pros:
  • contrasty
  • razor sharp
  • very fast AF considering the kind of lens
Cons:
  • expensive
  • not 1.2 :p

Excellent!

This is a great lens with fantastic bokeh qualities. I use it with my D4 and am able to achieve desired results with great consistency.

The best lens nikon makes!

This lens would have been 5 stars, but Nikon had to make a 1.8 version that is 95% of this lens, and 1/3 the cost. So It get's -1 for the cost to performance ratio. For the masses the 1.8 is a steal for the must have the best there is no 1.4 better.
Pros:
  • Amazing Bokeh
  • Durable
  • Easy To Use
  • Reliable
  • Sharp
Cons:
  • Pricey

Nikon 85mm f/1.4G AF-S Nikkor

This might be the highest quality optics for an 85mm lens available. It's as sharp as sharp gets wide open and edge to edge. If this sombrero effect is visible, it is not by these eyes nor any other reviewer. This optic is best of class and worth the price for someone who wants the very best.
Pros:
  • Very sharp
  • beautiful micro contrast
  • magnesium internal parts
  • external polycarbonate
  • Nano coating
Cons:
  • Would prefer an aperture ring

It does exactly what its supposed to do

The 85 1.4g is an amazing lens, has all the features you want, none of the features you don't need. Perfect Bokeh, probably one of the 3 best portrait lenses you can get for the nik. One shortcoming is that it just feels sorta plastic, but what doesn't these days...
Pros:
  • Amazing bokeh
  • Consistent Output
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus
  • Lightweight
  • Nice Bokeh
Cons:
  • Feels Cheep
  • One Trick Pony

Nice prime for portraits

"Balances wonderfully with a D600. Bokeh is excellent for portraits, flowers, etc. However, I prefer the more versatile and extremely sharp 24-70 2.8 for landscape and street photography.

Incredible lens, quickly became my favorite - surprisingly easy to carry and produces excellent images, both of scenes and portraits - great contrast and really sees "light" better than most!
