AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G is a short-telephoto prime lens designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount cameras, though it can also be used with DX-format bodies where it provides a 127.5mm equivalent focal length. The lens features a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture that enables effective depth-of-field control and low-light performance, making it well-suited for portrait photography. A Super Integrated Coating on the lens elements minimizes flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity in bright and backlit conditions.

The Silent Wave Motor provides fast, quiet, and precise autofocus with full-time manual focus override, while the internal focusing design maintains the lens's overall length during focusing. A rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to pleasing bokeh quality, and the compact design weighs only 350 grams, making it a practical choice for photographers seeking a versatile portrait lens.
