Product description
Discuss in the Nikon SLR Lens Talk forum
The Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm F1.8D is a fast, short telephoto lens for full-frame and APS-C Nikon DSLRs. A relatively old design, the exceptionally well-built 85mm nevertheless offers excellent image quality, but has been surpassed optically by the newer Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G, which is lighter and also offers full-time manual focus thanks to an SWM ultrasonic-type focus motor.
