Optimized for portrait photography, the Nikon short-telephoto 85mm f/1.8G prime lens boasts a fast aperture for depth of field control and performance in dim lighting. The lens structure incorporates elements with Super Integrated Coating to minimize lens flare and ghosting, thus enhancing contrast and color accuracy when shooting in bright or backlit conditions. Moreover, it comes with a Silent Wave Motor, ensuring swift and precise autofocus with the possibility of manual focus adjustment.

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G is a prime lens designed for portrait and studio photography. With its fast f/1.8 aperture, it excels in low-light conditions and provides a shallow depth of field for beautiful background blur.

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G is a **full-frame** prime lens designed for the **Nikon F** mount, targeting photographers who want a fast, fixed focal length on their DSLR system. With a **maximum aperture of f/1.8** and a fixed **85mm** focal length, the lens sits in the standard-to-short-telephoto range and delivers genuine aperture performance for subject separation and lower-light shooting. Autofocus and manual focus are both supported, providing versatility across different shooting scenarios. At just **350g**, this is a lightweight option that won't weigh down a camera bag or cause fatigue during long sessions. The **67mm filter thread** makes it straightforward to attach polarizers, ND filters, or protective glass. One practical consideration is that there is **no image stabilization** — a factor worth noting for anyone regularly shooting handheld in challenging light. The lens is categorized as a prime within the standard focal length range, and its Nikon F mount compatibility spans a broad range of Nikon DSLR bodies.

A fixed 85mm focal length with a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture gives precise control over depth of field and consistent framing.
