Ordering a Nikon 85mm f/1.8G AF-S FX

11 years 11 months ago #230793 by Photo Mojo
A buddy of mine has a 85mm f/1.4 and just recently picked up one of these Nikon 85mm f/1.8G AF-S FX for fraction of the cost of the f/1.4. I got to shoot with both of these yesterday and today and now I'm sold. For $500 bucks the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G AF-S FX is a great price. I did notice a ever so slight difference in sharpness, and would like to have the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G AF-S FX as a 77mm, so i can use my other filters. But oh well, I'm impressed with it. I'm ordering :thumbsup:

yeh it's a very highly regarded lens. In many ways better than the 85 1.4 (especially the value for money). I'll will be buying one this week actually (and a 28 1.8G this month).
