Awesome lens for the price. Focus can be a little slow but faster than the Nikon 50mm 1.4. Needed to auto fine tune as apparently there can be issues with back/front focusing which I had with my sample. Once checked and set focus is accurate and the lens is super sharp. My new favourite lens.

Great Features; Great Picture Quality

Literally my favourite lens. Not always a practical length but consistently sharp and fast. Good build quality.

I used to have a 50mm f1.4g lens and it was soft at F1.4-F1.8, this 85mm lens does not have any distortion at any f-stop, pictures are extremely sharp.

The pictures are sharp

I use this lens on my Nikon D5100 for natural light portraits and grandkids volleyball & basketball photos. Focus speed is good in qym lighting. Although I haven't completely tested it, some reviews show best sharpness & quality at f4 to f8. Very pleased with results so far.

Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh

This is an incredible lens. With fast accurate focusing, super sharp, color rich images, it just shines. Mine required no calibration, and measured against a calibration chart was dead on right out of the box. In practice it also focuses quickly.

"I bought this lens a while back on a whim knowing that I should probably kit myself out with an 85mm at some point. The price was right and all of the reviews made it pretty clear that this was one of the best lenses in its class.

I use this product for portraits of the family and what I get for the price is amazing.

Bokeh; Contrast; price

Plastic feel

good

This lens + the D800/E is an awesome combination The sharpness and resolving power of this lens is amazing and in the studio I can\'t think of a better prime.

Excellent lens Does well in low light conditions. Auto focus doesn't perform well. Switched it to manual focus & it remedied the "problem"

sharp; excellent in low light; beautiful bokeh (manual focus

the auto focus is a bit sluggish
