Nikon 85mm f/1.8 AF-S G Lens

This medium-telephoto prime lens mounts on Nikon F bodies and covers both FX and DX formats. Its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits portrait and low-light work. Silent Wave Motor drives fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override. Internal focusing keeps the barrel length constant during operation.

Mount and filter check before ordering

Verify your camera uses the Nikon F mount and that you need a 67 mm filter thread. Confirm the 2.62 ft minimum focus distance fits your shooting style. The lens accepts screw-on filters and includes a cap keeper in the bundle. No motor coupling is required on the camera body.

Portrait and event shooters wanting a light prime

The f/1.8 aperture and 85 mm focal length flatter subjects with shallow depth of field. Buyers who need zoom versatility or macro magnification beyond 0.12x should look at other lenses. Videographers requiring powered focus or cinema gears will find this design limited.
