At a Glance

The 85 mm focal length and f/1.4 aperture make this a manual short telephoto prime for full frame cameras with the Nikon F-mount. The wide opening allows shorter shutter times in low light and a shallow depth of field. Focus is set by hand only, down to 1 m at a magnification of 1:10. Weighing 570 g, the lens suits portraits.
