Nikon 85mm f/1.4D IF - 07-22-2008, 11:25 PM


Nikon 85mm f/1.4 D IF

Taken during one of Tom Hicks Pug Mark Park tiger shoots.

A Nikon legend, the 85/1.4 is exceptionally sharp with some of the smoothest bokeh you will find.

Opinion: While unsuitable for a low-light/sports combination, this is one of Nikon's finest portrait lenses and a must for any wedding or studio photographer.

Example:

Nikon D2X : @85mm : 1/320th : f1.4 : 100 ISO : Matrix metering

NIce pictures! I'm waiting for mine to arrive.
Thanks for bringing the tiger park to mind. I was going to try
to shoot there about 2 years ago but something can up and
it just slipped my mind.

This is without a doubt the finest glass I've ever owned. It still amazes me when I see my shots made with this lens on a 26 in monitor. It's the best money I've ever spent on equipment.

Seen that shot before, Scott, and I still love it. Really shows how this lens can shine.
