Portrait lens for Nikon DSLR users

This 85 mm prime lens offers a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture for shallow depth of field and bright viewfinder images. It is built for FX and DX format cameras and suits portrait, general purpose and low light photography. The Nano Crystal Coat reduces ghosting and flare across a wide range of wavelengths for improved clarity. Internal focusing keeps the lens barrel stationary during autofocus operation.

Quiet autofocus with internal focus

The Silent Wave Motor drives fast and quiet autofocus while the internal focus design prevents the front element from rotating or extending. This allows consistent use of circular polarisers and petal hoods without readjustment. The M/A focus mode switch enables instant switching between autofocus and manual focus with minimal lag. Minimum focus distance is 0.85 m (3.0 ft) and the focal length decreases as focus distance shortens due to the internal focusing system.

Nano Crystal Coat and focus mode switch

The Nano Crystal Coat cuts ghosting and interior flare for clearer images in backlit conditions. The M/A focus mode switch lets you override autofocus instantly by simply turning the focus ring without changing camera settings. A focus distance indicator runs from 3 feet to infinity for zone focusing reference. No lens hood, case or software bundle is listed in the supplied data.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G and which focus setting trips people up?

Attach the lens to the camera's F-mount, then set the M/A switch to autofocus; forgetting to flip it back to manual when you want precise control is the common slip.

What part of the 85mm f/1.4G will eventually need service or replacement?

The internal focusing motor and Nano Crystal Coat surfaces may require professional cleaning or repair after heavy use.

At what point does the 85mm focal length drop noticeably during close-up shooting?

Because the lens uses internal focusing, the effective focal length shortens as you focus nearer than the 3.0 ft minimum distance.
