Product details

The AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G from Nikon is a highly sought-after focal length for portrait photography and is a short telephoto prime with a bright maximum aperture of f/1.8. This design strikes a balance between a lightweight, compact form factor and being fast enough to effectively control depth of field and perform well in low light conditions. Individual lens elements feature a Super Integrated Coating that manages flare and ghosting to achieve greater contrast and color fidelity in bright and backlit situations. Additionally, the Silent Wave Motor provides fast and precise autofocus performance as well as full-time manual focus.
