I'm curious if Nikon's new 85mm is as good a piece of glass as the older, highly-prized 85mm f/1.4 but haven't seen anything about. I couldn't even find it through Pbase's lens categories. Does anyone have any insight? --------------------------- "You cannot kill what you did not create" http://www.flickr.com/photos/mstphoto Nikon D3, Nikon D200, Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8, Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 Ai-s, Nikkor 105mm micro, Nikkor 18-200mm VR, Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8, SB800, R1C1 macro flash kit |

I have the new Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 G and have been extremely pleased with the glass all around. I can say in all honesty that I can see simple improvements over the old 85mm. Are those improvements worth the extra money? Depends on you the shooter to decide. Portrait wise I love the glass. --------------------------- Nikon D3s, 85mm f/1.4D IF, 50mm f/1.4G, 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II, 14-24mm f/2.8G ED, 24-70mm f/2.8G ED |

I never had the old one. I just did a shoot with it yesterday and the autofocus was dead-on in low light. I love the lens. I cannot wait to try some outdoor portraits! It is also so much lighter than my ex-canon 85L, and the autofocus is so far ahead of the canon lens. My only complaint is that it is so silent that, at times, I am not so sure it is working. Tri |
