Review 5 of 58
Price Paid:
$535.00
from Henry's Ottawa Summary: I have evaluation samples at:
http://www.pbase.com/hsandler/nikkor85f18
About the same size and weight as the DX 18-70mm "kit" lens for the D70 Strengths: Sharp from f2.5 on, pretty sharp even wide open. Front element does not rotate or move during focus. Metal filter thread. Solid metal lens hood. Weaknesses: Manual focus ring rotates during autofocus, which can make it hard to hold, as the fingers naturally rest on the knurled knob.
Fairly loud "click" when the autofocus hits one end or the other and reverses direction. Some chromatic aberration in the out of focus area which makes the "bokeh" not so smooth if there are contrasty edges in the background. Similar Products Used: Nikkor 50mm f1.8 D AF. Compared to the 50, the 85 is sharper wide open and perhaps focuses slightly faster.
