Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras
From the manufacturer
Professional medium telephoto lens with a fast f/1.4 aperture for use with Nikon’s FX-format SLRs. An incarnation of a legendary NIKKOR, the re-designed optical construction offers outstanding performance. Nikon's Nano Crystal coat greatly reduces ghosting and flare, and the 9-blade rounded aperture produces soft and pleasing blur characteristics.
Characteristics of a Portrait Lens
Blurred backgrounds
Fast lenses have a wider aperture, allowing in more light in less time. They help you to give sharp focus to your subjects, while letting backgrounds softly fall away.
Sharp shots in low light
Shoot crisp candid shots at dimly-lit wedding receptions, restaurants or nightclubs - without the blur.
Fast focus
Capture pin-sharp portraits with impressive detail and vibrant colour reproduction.

Nano Crystal CoatNano Crystal Coat is a revolutionary technology that dramatically reduces ghosting and flare, creating sharper, clearer, high-contrast photos and videos. This low-refractive coating is comprised of microscopic nano particles and is far more effective than conventional anti-reflection coating. Nano Crystal Coat solves ghost effects caused by red light - which was incredibly difficult for previous systems - and also effectively reduces ghosting and flare effects caused by light entering the lens diagonally. The result is remarkably clearer images. |
Silent Wave MotorWhen you don't want to disturb your subject - perhaps at an event or while capturing wildlife - Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) in AF-S NIKKOR lenses comes into its own. This technology converts 'traveling waves' into rotational energy to focus the optics, enabling high-speed autofocus that's extremely accurate and super-quiet. |
Precision Glass MoldingIn its ongoing pursuit of excellence in lens manufacturing, Nikon developed a special molding technique that is effective for medium to large diameter Aspherical lens elements, which were previously considered difficult to mold. Precision Glass Molding (PGM) is the meticulous process where optical glass is softened by heating, then shaped in an Aspherical mold made of special heat-resistant material. This technology has become widely adopted in the manufacture of Aspherical camera lens elements. |
A Revolution in GlassBefore there were Nikon cameras, there was NIKKOR - a precision optics company predating the first Nikon camera by over a decade. From its very first camera lens in 1933, Nikon has been tirelessly dedicated to crafting optical excellence with uncompromising clarity, quality and reliability. From the depths of the ocean to the furthest reaches of space, NIKKOR glass has always been the eyes of Nikon. |
