85mm Micro Lens for Close-Up Photography

This 85mm f/3.5G ED VR lens is built for Nikon DX-format DSLR cameras and delivers 1:1 magnification for true macro work. It suits photographers who shoot flowers, insects, small products or portraits at close range. The focal length gives comfortable working distance while the VR II system steadies handheld frames.

Mounts on Nikon F-Mount DX Bodies

The lens uses Nikon's Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet autofocus and fits directly onto any compatible DX camera without adapters. A rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces smooth background blur. Check that your body supports AF-S drive and VR switching; older entry-level models without a focus motor will not autofocus with this lens.

Ideal for Macro and Portrait Shooters

Photographers who need life-size reproduction and vibration reduction in a compact prime will benefit most. Buyers who want more reach for distant wildlife or a wider maximum aperture for low-light event work should look at something else. The fixed 85mm field of view also limits flexibility for general-purpose zoom users.
