Description

To focus using autofocus with manual override (M/A): Slide the lens focus-mode switch to M/A. If desired, autofocus can be over-ridden by rotating the lens focus ring while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (or, if the camera is equipped with an AF-ON button, while the AF-ON button is pressed). To refocus using autofocus, press the shutter-release button halfway or press the AF-ON button again. The fast maximum aperture of f/1.8 performs brilliantly under any lighting conditions and delivers beautiful, natural background blur that brings out the best in any subject. Compatible Format(s) - FX, DX, FX in DX Crop Mode, 35mm Film.

    • Love this for portrait!
Color: Black
I bought this for quick portraits and great blur and man it's fantastic. The f/1.8 is tact sharp and at great alternative to the much pricier f/1.4 option ($1500). The performance between the 2 lens is marginal. If you're getting paid as a pro photographer then you may get the f/1.4 but for the rest of us (I gather 95% of us), this f/1.8 is a great alternative. If you google around the web for the reviews, you will find this f/1.8 AF-S be a close second to the f/1.4 with what I would summarize as F/1.4 lens having 2-5% improvement in the picture quality when it comes to better light and better blur. I'll save the $1000 and still produce great quality pictures with this F/1.8. 1. Super light weight 2. Fast focus 3. Tact sharp 4. Awesome low light performance 5. Great bokeh Below is a summary of how I use all of my lens today and I hope it will help you find what you are looking for if you have similar needs as mine: * AF-S 50mm f/1.4: Great for infants and walk-around lens on the street. I use this lens most of the time for infant pictures because 1) I don't want to use flash when infants have their eyes open even if I have a softbox/umbrella. 2) lightweight 3) low light performance at f/1.4. I also uses this when I'm out of the house because it's not in-you-face when you pull it out of you bag so people won't notice you. This lens also makes me move around a bit to be more creative vs. just zoom in and out. 50mm lens makes me think more about the shots. * AF-S 60mm f/2.8 micro: Great macro lens: I use this for very close up shots. I can get as close to less than an inch away even though the minimum focal length isn't listed as being 1 inch away. You will want good lighting since flash will be useless when you are this close to the subject. I take photos of baby lips, eyes, face, hands and feet, & other objects such as jewelry * watches. Basically any fairly stationary subjects that I want to highlight the details and intentional imperfections/wrinkles, etc. I sometimes wonder if I should use this all the time instead of my 50mm but I find the 50mm better at non-macro shots because it focus faster and lets in 4 times more light. * AF-S 85mm f/1.8 : I use this most of the time for adult portraits and it has very good low light performance as well. I choose this over the f/1.4 version because the other reviews I've read on the web did not justify the extra $1000 spend for marginal performance improvement and unless I am getting paid to take pictures all the time, I don't see the need to pay the extra cost for the f/1.4. This lens also makes me move around a bit to be more creative vs. just zoom in and out. * AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8: I use this when I just don't know what kind of pictures I could be taking and need to have zoom & I don't have to move around as much. While I don't take landscape pictures (24mm) often, I will use this for a large group outing, birthday parties when I may need to get a wide shot of a lot of people in a room and be able to have a little bit of zoom capability and not have to walk up so close to the people's face. This allows me to get some candid shots when needed. It's fairly heavy at 2 lbs and huge when you put on the hood so I almost never use this lens when I'm on the street because it attracts a lot of unwanted attention. I wouldn't want this hanging on my neck or shoulders for a long period of time. * AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 vr2 : This is one of my favorite lens only because I can use it for portraits as well (with some lighting support) and I can get really good candid shots since I can be much farther away 10-20ft from my subjects and able to get a nice picture. I do have to crop at times to get rid of the cluttered background but with the D600 camera, I have enough megapixel details to crop my pictures when needed. This is obviously a monster lens so I avoid taking it for street photos even though I've had some nice pictures and experiences on the street but it's so big... I've had people stopping me asking me if I'm a paparazzi and which celebrity I am stalking..... haha. It's almost over 3 lbs so I definitely wouldn't want this hanging on my neck or shoulders for a long period of time. * AF-S 70-200mm f/4: this is also a great lens and a fantastic alternative to the 2.8 version. At over $1000 less, this is a bargin and great lens if you're taking photos at good lighting conditions (outdoor, have flash or good indoor lighting). Otherwise it may be problematic for you at F/4. ... show more

    • Excellent Short Telephoto Prime
Color: Black
I owned both of Nikon's 50mm AF-D lenses when I shot with a D90 and enjoyed the field of view for pictures of children at play. Ever since moving to a D700, I missed having a similar FOV from an AF lens as I was not impressed with the 85/1.8D and did not want to pay for either the expensive 1.4G lens or the failure prone Sigma EX f/1.4 version. Once Nikon announced this lens, I preordered. I've previously owned a Rokinon 85M-N 85mm F1.4 Aspherical Lens for Nikon (Black) which offers incredible performance and value for slower-paced shooting. I found focusing to be a bit difficult for moving subjects from f/1.4-2.0 as the focusing ring of the Rokinon could not match the handling of Nikkor AI-S lenses. Nikon's 105/2.5 AI/AI-S is another excellent lens of similar focal length, but I often find it a bit long for my taste. Shaprness -- The sharpness from f/1.8 is excellent in the centers and very good out to the edges and corners. Stepping down makes everything a little better still. The resolving power of the lens exceeds the sensor of the D700 (and D3 and D3s). Autofocusing Speed/Accuracy -- Not as fast as some of the older screw-drive AF lenses, but perfectly acceptable for my uses so far. Accuracy is excellent, and right now, I'd count the few misses in proper lock as my fault for being unfamiliar with the AF system of the D700. Flare/Ghosting -- Nikon didn't include their nano-crystal coating on this lens, but I have yet to produce any flares or ghosts while shooting straight into the sun or with the sun near the frame. I do keep the hood on at all times though. Bokeh - Very nice and pleasant. Much better than anything that comes out of the older 1.8D. Color/Contrast/Saturation -- The color cast is neutral, like each other Nikon that I've owned going all the way back to my 1978 vintage 28mm f/2 AI. The contrast and vividness of the colors is excellent matching other newish lenses like the 35/1.8G and besting older lenses with less advanced coatings. Construction/Build Quality/Misc. -- This lens resembles all of Nikon's newest non-consumer zooms. It won't outlast any of my solid metal AI and AI-S lenses, but it isn't going to fall apart quickly either. Metal mount, presumably metal internals, and composite/plastic outer surface. The mount does have a gasket for weather sealing. The focusing ring is nice and smooth for an AF-S lens. Hood does a good job of shielding the front element. The lens feels solid, yet light. Balances nicely on a D700 (and probably on a D800, D300s, or D7000 too). Filter size is 67mm which would pair nicely with the newly upcoming 28/1.8G which makes for a nice two lens kit with common filters on an FX body. If you like to shoot slightly longer lenses, those two provide the same FOV as a 42mm and 129mm on 35mm, which are normal and a classic head and shoulders portrait lengths. Excellent lens. If you have a D version and like it, keep it. If you are looking for an 85mm autofocusing lens, this is the one to buy. ... show more
