Even though this lens lacks the exotic nano-crystal coating applied to Nikon’s top-end lenses, it is highly resistant to flare and contrast levels remain high, even when shooting into the light. A deep circular hood is provided with the lens, which does an excellent job of shielding the front element from extraneous light.

Excellent price for performance when compared to the Nikon's legendary 1.4G ($1900 approx). Makes me wonder why the heck Photodo gave this lense the SAME value for money as the 85mm 1.4G?

Value for money for this 85mm 1.8G ($600 approx) is clearly 4.5 to 5 stars.
