The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G is a compact, lightweight FX-format portrait prime lens featuring a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture. Equipped with Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) autofocus system and Internal Focus (IF) design, this lens delivers quick, quiet focusing whilst maintaining a constant barrel length. The 9-element, 9-group optical design with Super Integrated Coating ensures excellent contrast and colour fidelity, particularly in backlit and mixed-light conditions. The 7-blade rounded diaphragm produces attractive background blur (bokeh), making it ideal for head-and-shoulder portraiture, weddings, event photography, and low-light shooting. Full-time manual focus override allows seamless switching between autofocus and manual focus. Weighing just 350g with a 0.8m minimum focus distance, this versatile lens is equally effective on both FX-format full-frame and DX-format crop-sensor Nikon D-SLR cameras, where it delivers a 127mm equivalent focal length.
