The AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G is a fast aperture medium telephoto prime fixed focal length lens for Nikon FX format digital SLR cameras. It’s also compatible with late model 35mm film autofocus SLRs and DX format digital SLR cameras. This model is an update of a very popular focal length and aperture combination. The addition of an Internal Focus IF optical arrangement coupled to an AF-S SWM Silent Wave Motor provided superior autofocus performance that is both fast and quiet. Now Nikon shooters have an 85mm f/1.8 option that is better than ever for unobtrusive live performance documentary wedding photography. The Nikon Nikkor 85mm F/1.8 G AF-S also excels at head and shoulder portraiture. When mounted on a DX-format D-SLR the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G has a field of view equivalent to what a 127mm lens would produce on an FX body.
