My favorite lens! December 27, 2008
Gyong (United States)
I have 70-200mm VR that I used quite often, until I got this lens. I love everything about this lens, especially the creamy bokeh and at the same time it very sharp too. Great lens this might might be, but it's not all purpose lens, at 127.5mm (35mm equivalent) with APS sensor camera, it's considered telephoto and may not be good for small indoors but great for out doors and low light indoor sports. Oh and most of all it's a must have for portraits.
Outstanding Lens December 23, 2008

Absolutely incredible lens. One of the best Nikon has ever made.
If you're looking for something that is fast and tack-sharp this is for you.
Most of my pictures were taken with this lens:

The ultimate cremy "bokeh" machine! November 19, 2008

I've been using the 85mm f/1.8D for almost a year now, and took a step out to get the f/1.4D version, and was not disappointed! The 85mm f/1.4D lens is the cream machine when it comes to bokeh. At almost every f-stop, the bokehs still come out rounded, but for the 85mm f/1.8D lens, there are certain f-stops where it is not rounded, but can see the polygonal shape from the aperture blades. The f/1.4D lens is almost 3 times the price of the f/1.8D lens, but the built and performace is also better.
This lens is already pretty sharp wide open, but stopping down to f/2, you can see that it gets sharper. The only thing which I do not like in this lens package (and is the same for the 85mm f/1.8D lens package too) is the screw on lens hood to the filter thread. In anycase, shooting without a lens hood is not a problem.
Worth the purchase price October 28, 2008

I am extremely pleased with my 85mm f/1.4 lens. It is the sharpest lens to date that I have purchased. I'm having so much fun now shooting in aperture priority that I will never go back to total auto. I have found that shooting between 3.0 and 4.0 for portraits has gotten me the results that I desire. The difference in setting is how much body/face I want in the picture. If you are desiring to shoot portraits or even close up nature shots with beautiful bokeh in the background, this is the lens for you, it is well worth the purchase price.
excellent build and optical quality October 15, 2008

you have to hold it in your hands to appreciate it. i suggest going to your favorite camera store, bring your camera and give it a test drive. it is SHARP, excellent bokeh, fast autofocus, takes pro 77mm size filter thread,and the list goes on. highly recommended!
