Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Sample Photos
Sharpness in the centre is excellent at wide apertures | 1/2500 sec | f/2 | 85.0 mm | ISO 2 | When stopped down, sharpness is excellent across the frame | 1/500 sec | f/8 | 85.0 mm | ISO 200 |
Flare isn't an issue and contrast holds up well, even when shooting into the light | 1/200 sec | f/4 | 85.0 mm | ISO 200 | The close focus distance of 80cm is a little limiting | 1/4 sec | f/8 | 85.0 mm | ISO 200 |
1/200 sec | f/2.5 | 85.0 mm | ISO 200 | 1/200 sec | f/8 | 85.0 mm | ISO 200 |
1/160 sec | f/6.3 | 85.0 mm | ISO 360 | Noah And The Whale | 1/125 sec | f/2.0 | 85.0 mm | ISO 640 |
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.
