The Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 was the second lens I purchased for my Nikon SLR (the 35mm f/2 was the first).

I now use the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 for portraits.

I currently use the 85 1.8G, but eventually I want to upgrade for the 1.4 for the much creamier bokeh. I can easily sacrifice the sharpness of the 1.8G for the much more pleasing rendering, skin colors, and smoother background of the 1.4G.

I would like 85 & 35 mm. (Use 50 & 70-200)

I shoot Canon but have used Nikon before and I agree with you, the 85mm focal length is fantastic!!
Have you tried the 105mm Macro? You will love it for detail shots!

[kathyrobinson]

Thank you Joy Michelle!! You are so awesome. & inspiring.

Do you have an Opinion concerning a DSLR CAMERA & LENS or a iPhone 12 Pro Max Camera, I have Both!

How about nikon 85mm f1.8g for beginners?

[dulcenunez]

I found this lens Samyang SY85MAE-N 85mm F1.4 Lens for Nikon AE, do you think it might work?... for Nikon?, I mean it's like 3times less expensive than the NIKON one, what do you think?

[wanneske]

No review on the new Canon 85 mm f1.4 IS ? I just got it a month ago, but I don't see a lot of reviews on it. My experience with it is great though

[erikkasteele]

So I just bought the Rokinon 85mm 1.4 (used in excellent condition).
It's strictly manual focus, and it was much cheaper than buying the Nikkor. Would it be worth it to buy the Nikon lens, to use for AF situations where manual isn't always ideal?

Love this lens in the 1.8. Definitely a winner

What I great channel you have here!! Such great informative videos!! I have a quick question, I own a wedding cake business and I need better photos of my cakes, should I get the 85mm 1.4 or the 50mm 1.4? Blessings!!
