Nikon 85mm f/1.4G AF-S NIKKOR
The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G, available at Lightbulb Rentals, is renowned as an ideal lens for portraiture, thanks to its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture and ability to create shallow depth of field to isolate subjects. This short-telephoto prime lens is designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount cameras, offering a 127.5mm equivalent focal length on DX-format models.
Its fast f/1.4 aperture not only aids in achieving selective focus and shallow depth of field effects but also performs exceptionally well in low-light conditions. This capability is further enhanced by Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings applied to the lens elements, reducing flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color rendering, especially in bright or backlit situations.
The lens features a Silent Wave Motor for fast, precise autofocus performance, complemented by full-time manual focus override for fine adjustments. Its internal focusing mechanism ensures that only the internal lens groups move during focusing, maintaining the lens’s overall length and promoting faster focusing speeds.
A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to creating a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of out-of-focus backgrounds in portrait photography and other applications.
