Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My favorite lens!
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Outstanding Lens
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 f/1.4D lens is almost 3 times the price of the f/1.8D lens, but the built and performace is also better. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Worth the purchase price
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 ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent build and optical quality
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!
