About this product

Product Information

The Nikon Nikkor 85 mm F/1.4 Ai- S lens wears its big size and ability to turn backgrounds into soft colors with pride. The professional lens exclusively fits FX and 35 mm cameras to yield bright, sharp, and high-resolution stills. The hard infinity focus stop renders the lens perfect for astronomy, with its ability to attain a fixed laboratory-perfect focus all night. The ultra-fast f/1.4 aperture in this wide-angle Nikkor lens creates attractive bokeh with its rounded 9-blade diaphragm and offers great low-light performance yielding high contrast at any aperture or focus distance. The anodized aluminum hood protects the lenses from unprecedented damage.

    Awesome Lens

    Nikon doesn't make them like this any more... Built like a tank, focusing is buttery smooth, and the pictures are usably sharp even wide open. Stop down a bit for super sharpness. Bokeh is excellent.

    Nikon 85mm AIS f1.4

    Good: built like a tank, sharp from f2 on, great light gathering, smooth focus Bad: heavy. Value: expensive for a 85mm, but reasonable for a high quality fast 85mm. I would buy again and recommend.

    These go to ELEVEN

    OK yes it costs 2x-3x as much as the 85/2 AI-S, and yes it weighs twice as much, and yes, it's only about one stop better at any given aperture up to f/4 where they're basically the same, and yes you can't accurately focus a manual-focus lens at apertures faster than f/2 anyway because the focusing screen can't show you the DoF accurately, but... wait why did I buy this lens again? Oh right, it has f/1.4, that's why. Whew, I almost had cognitive dissonance there for a second.

    If you dont mind using a manual focus lens. This lens compares favorably with its modern Zeiss cousin.

    Great Lens

    I was a little nervous spending so much on an old, used lens that I couldn't inspect before hand but WOW am I ever surprised. It's hard to say if it's as tack sharp as a Sigma 85mm 1.4, but the quality of image is something the sterile, digital era lenses can't touch. Believe what you read on this lens, worth the buy!

    Clean and Bright

    This lens is in very good condition. I could not see any defect on the lens. The mechanical parts are also durable. I tested the image quality and very satisfied.

    For collectors, it's a must have lens

    Based on recent standards it's not extremely sharp but overall picture quality is appealing, moreover the fealing of quality cannot be denied when you hold it in your hands.
