T
he Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 is said to be the best of the portrait lenses, with its f/1.4 aperture, it`s excellent in low light photography. It`s the fastest telephoto lens in Nikon`s lens lineup, and the first telephoto lens to feature Nikon`s CRC (Close-Range Correction) This lens is a favorite by many portrait photographers, providing you with a nice working distance and a creamy Bokeh. I find that this lens on a DX DSLR gives me a more comfortable working distance then on a 35mm SLR.
The fastest telephoto in the Nikkor line. Beautiful selective focus at maximum aperture makes this lens ideal for people pictures. The first telephoto lens to employ
Nikon's Close-Range Correction System, ensuring high resolution down to a close focusing distance of 36 inches. Accepts 72mm filters; HN-20 lens hood.
A perfect portrait lens, with a sweet Bokeh. If you want a similar focal length on a DX Dslr the Nikon AF 50mm f/1.4 is a good alternative, it will also save you a lot of money. If money is not a problem, get the 85mm f/1.4 which will give you a more comfortable working distance, and a sweeter Bokeh. With the manual focus version, you need your subjects to stand completely still when used wide open, the tiniest move and your subject will be
out of focus.
