85mm F1.8 G AF-S Lens

Product Description

The classic 85 mm focal length allows for tight head & shoulder shots with extreme detail. The fast f/1.8 aperture perfectly balances sharpness & bokeh, so you can single out subjects beautifully, & it provides a bright viewfinder image that makes it easier to compose your shots. An excellent choice when shooting in low light, the fast aperture also helps you shoot with available light & still capture striking, sharp images. The new 85mm f 1.8 lens is an ideal portrait lens that features an all-new optical design that has been optimised to meet the requirements of today’s D-SLRs. Compromising 9 elements in 9 groups, it offers superb image quality & makes an attractive choice for videographers. The dedicated Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures discreet but accurate autofocus. Weighing in at only 350 grams, this weather-sealed compact new 85mm lens is lighter than its predecessors. Compatible with Nikon FX-format D-SLRs, it offers a 127.5mm (equivalent) focal length when used with Nikon DX-format D-SLRs, & is fully compatible with entry level D-SLRs that do not have a built in autofocus motor.
