Key Performance Highlights
Flattering Portrait Perspective: The 85mm focal length provides the ideal amount of compression for human faces, ensuring features are represented accurately and beautifully.
Ultra-Sharp f/1.8 Aperture: Even wide open at f/1.8, this lens delivers incredible detail. It allows for elite low-light shooting and total control over depth of field.
7-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Engineered to produce soft, natural-looking bokeh that makes your subject "pop" with a 3D-like quality.
Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Nikon’s proprietary AF system provides high-speed, near-silent autofocus with full-time manual focus override—critical for quiet wedding ceremonies.
Internal Focus (IF) Design: The lens does not change size during focusing, making it easier to use with filters and ensuring a robust, long-lasting construction.
Super Integrated Coating (SIC): Minimizes ghosting and flare for superior color balance and contrast, even in backlit "golden hour" portrait sessions.
Highly Versatile Compatibility: A "must-have" for Nikon Full-Frame (FX) DSLRs, an amazing 127.5mm equivalent on APS-C (DX) bodies, and works flawlessly on Nikon Z-mount cameras via the FTZ/FTZ II adapter.
