2195, 85mmf14G specifications

The Nikon 85mm f/1.4G is a premium portrait lens renowned for its exceptional optical performance, exquisite bokeh, and remarkable low-light capabilities. Designed for Nikon's FX-format DSLRs, this lens offers a classic focal length that excels in capturing stunning portraiture, making it a go-to choice for both professional photographers and enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of the 85mm f/1.4G is its fast maximum aperture of f/1.4. This wide aperture allows for incredible light-gathering ability, enabling photographers to shoot in challenging lighting conditions without sacrificing image quality. The shallow depth of field produced by this aperture also creates beautiful background blur, isolating the subject and enhancing the overall aesthetic of the image.

The lens incorporates a complex optical design comprised of 11 elements in 8 groups. This configuration includes special ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements that effectively minimize chromatic aberrations, ensuring sharp and clear images even at wide apertures. The lens also features Nikon's Nano Crystal Coat, which significantly reduces ghosting and flare, contributing to improved contrast and clarity in images.

Autofocus performance is another area where the Nikon 85mm f/1.4G excels. It is equipped with a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) that provides fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus operation. This makes it ideal for portrait photography in quiet environments, such as weddings and studio settings. Furthermore, the lens allows for full-time manual focus override, giving photographers the control they need to fine-tune their focus.

The lens is built to withstand the rigors of professional use, with a sturdy construction that includes weather sealing to protect against dust and moisture. The front element is coated with a grease-resistant fluorine coating, making it easier to clean and maintain.

In addition to its primary portrait application, the Nikon 85mm f/1.4G is versatile enough for other photography styles, such as events, fashion, and even wildlife in certain contexts. Its ability to deliver stunning images with remarkable sharpness and pleasing bokeh makes it a favorite among photographers seeking to elevate their craft.

In conclusion, the Nikon 85mm f/1.4G lens is a superior optical tool that combines advanced technologies and thoughtful design to offer photographers a high level of creative freedom. With its impressive features and exceptional image quality, it remains a staple in the kits of serious photographers. Whether capturing intimate portraits or stunning outdoor scenes, the 85mm f/1.4G delivers outstanding results that are sure to impress.
