Nikon NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G 85mm

55.1 Professional Score
85mmf/16Nikon 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.
