105mm f/1.4 full-frame lens

The Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED is a short telephoto prime for FX-format DSLR cameras. Its f/1.4 maximum aperture gathers abundant light for shallow depth of field. The lens uses internal focusing with manual focus override and a rounded nine-blade diaphragm. Nano Crystal Coat reduces ghosting and flare across a broad wavelength range.

Portrait and low-light specialists

Photographers who need extreme subject separation at 105mm will benefit from the f/1.4 aperture and 0.13x maximum reproduction ratio. The 23°10' FX angle of view suits head-and-shoulders framing. Shooters who require zoom versatility, wider angles, or closer macro magnification should consider other optics.

f/1.4 maximum aperture

The f/1.4 maximum aperture is the defining specification that determines low-light capability and background rendition. It enables fast shutter speeds indoors and creates the painterly defocus this lens is designed for. If your work demands a smaller maximum aperture or a different focal length, this is not the right lens.

Questions about this item

How do I mount this 105mm f/1.4E ED lens on my Nikon DSLR and what step is often missed?

Align the F-mount indexing marks, twist until the lock clicks, then set the camera menu to recognise the electromagnetic aperture ring so the f/1.4 to f/16 range reports correctly.

What maintenance will this Nano Crystal Coated 105mm lens need over time?

Clean the front element only with a blower and microfibre cloth; the ED glass and Nano Crystal Coat resist flare but can be scratched if wiped while gritty.

At what aperture does diffraction start to limit sharpness on this FX 105mm lens during sustained shooting?

Diffraction becomes visible around f/16, the smallest marked aperture, so stop down only as far as depth of field demands.
