At a Glance

The very wide f/1.4 aperture defines this 105 mm short telephoto for Nikon F and full frame. It allows short shutter times in low light and a very shallow depth of field. Minimum focus distance is 1 m. The lens suits portraits and events where the subject should separate clearly from the background.
