Why we recommend this

The f/1.4 aperture combined with Nano Crystal Coating and ED glass delivers exceptional low-light performance and sharpness with controlled flares. Its durable weather-sealed build and 12-blade diaphragm produce a painterly look with expressive bokeh and subtle highlight blooms. This lens is best for portrait and video shooters using Nikon F-mount DSLRs who need a wide-angle prime with organic rendering and shallow depth of field.

69.7 Professional Score
85mmf/1.8Nikon FWeather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Delivers outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast even at f/1.4, with Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings suppressing flare for pristine clarity. Its Silent Wave Motor enables fast, near-silent autofocus, and the 9-blade diaphragm produces notably smooth, circular bokeh for flattering subject isolation. Best for portrait photographers who demand uncompromising wide-open sharpness and shallow depth-of-field control in a fast prime, but not suited for macro work or video stabilization needs.
