Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 D Lens

The Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D is a fast, compact telephoto prime lens prized for its sharpness, beautiful background separation, and flattering compression—making it a long-standing favorite for portraiture, indoor sports, and event photography. With its bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, it delivers excellent subject isolation and low-light performance on both full-frame and crop-sensor Nikon bodies.

This D-series lens features Nikon’s classic screw-drive autofocus system (requiring a body with a built-in AF motor), and produces excellent rendering with minimal distortion and pleasing bokeh. While not as heavy or expensive as the f/1.4 version, many photographers prefer the 1.8D for its light weight, speed, and superb image quality wide open.

• Optics are clear with very light internal haze—unlikely to impact image quality in most situations
• No fungus or significant scratches
• Autofocus is responsive (requires Nikon DSLR with in-body motor)
• Focus ring turns smoothly and evenly
• Body shows only minor signs of handling

An excellent budget-friendly portrait lens that delivers classic Nikon rendering in a lightweight and fast package.
