Description: Nikon 85mm f/3.5G AF-S DX ED VR Micro Lens
Nikon's AF-S DX Micro 85mm telephoto Lens instigates creativity with sophisticated engineering and layout for close-up images.
The lens was created especially for maximum close-up shooting, yet it's perfectly at home with nature, portraits, and all around photography as well. It can focus as near as 0.9 ft.
The lens also has the Nikon VR II (Vibration Reduction) image stabilizer. This provides handheld photography at as much as 4 shutter speeds less than could otherwise be
attainable, assuring noticeably sharper photos
This Micro lens lets photographers acquire breathtaking close-up shots using as much as 1:1, life-magnitude reproduction ratios, ensuring that even the most subtle subject detail is faithfully reproduced. The 85mm Micro Nikon lens, combined with Nikon DX APS-C DSLR cameras, delivers an image angle equivalent to about 127.5mm (for the 35mm SLR or FX-format), giving up a natural perception along with a practical and popular lens for subject working distance.

Features
AF-S Autofocus lens featuring a Silent wave,
coreless, integrated, focus motor (unwrapped in 1996). Basically an
updated AF-I Autofocus-Silent sporting a "Silent Wave Motor" (ultrasonic) to
focus near silently and fast.
DX - NIKKOR - Compact and lightweight
Nikon DX lenses feature a lesser image circle and are specifically created and
optimized for the Nikon D-series, digital SLR camera bodies. An ideal option for
photographers and enthusiasts who require shooting of expansive landscapes with
Nikon DX DSLR
One ED- (Extra-low Dispersion Glass Elements)
a necessary element of the Nikon telephoto lens Nikon engineered Extra-low
Dispersion optical glass to facilitate the manufacture of lenses that provide
superior color correction and sharpness by diminishing chromatic aberrations
G - labeled after the f-number.
All the newer AF lenses, including AF-S and specifically G, are also D.
Nikon no longer makes an effort to mark the D.
G-lenses contains no aperture ring, therefore aperture may only be
electronically controlled by the camera and only autofocus camera bodies
featuring function dials have the capacity to control G lenses
Micro-Nikkor
A lens modified for shooting close-ups which encompasses a some sort of
focusing mount to expand to 1:2 (for manual focus) or 1:1 (for autofocus)
reproduction ratio.
RD- Rounded 9 Blade Diaphragm
Soft-focus images of point light resources create accepted polygonal shapes that
mirror the form of the cavity produced by the diaphragm blades.
SWM- Silent Wave Motor
Nikon AF-S engineering is yet one more rationale why professional
photographers like Nikon telephoto optical lenses.
VR II Vibration Reduction system
Provides the equivalent of employing a 4 stops faster shutter speed This second generation VR is known as VR II, that was engineered to provide an
additional 1-stop improvement over the initial VR
