Nikon has announced the Nikon AF-S 85mm F/1.8G FX format Nikkor lens, a more modern redesigned version of the classic Nikon AF 85mm F/1.8 prime lens. Featuring a built-in AF-S motor, the new Nikkor AF-S 85mm F/1.8G provides full auto focus compatibility with Nikon cameras that do not have a focus...
The Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G promises excellent performance at what is an extremely versatile prime focal length
I've always been a huge fan of the older AF-D model, but it was only really usable from f/2.8. What a nice surprise this new AF-S version is! More then adequate sharpness and contrast n the center of the frame at f/1.8 and at smaller apertures it only gets better.

I bought this for two upcoming weddings and with the 1.8 aperture it will be great inside the venues. The filter size is 67mm and already have two filters that size for my Nikon 18-300mm lens and also have the Nikon 35mm lens, so this 85mm lens will round out my collection nicely

Great Features; Great Picture Quality
Literally my favourite lens. Not always a practical length but consistently sharp and fast. Good build quality.
