aristobal's Full Review: Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D Lens
I bought this lens because I needed a fast lens for indoor candids. It is very fast. AF is fast too and accurate.
But the most important : this lens is SOOOOO sharp ! It's even sometimes TOO sharp for candids...
Good for concerts, theatre (if permitted).
Color accuracy is neutral, so very good.
Contrast is a little low at f1.8, but at f2 it's perfect.
Build quality is average. Just what I wait from a product of this price.
I couldn't notice any distortion. Light vignetting under f4. I didn't notice any flare.
Closest focus is at about 40 cm, good but too long for macro.
The included screw-in hood is a little annoying, but it is metal-made...
