Review on Nikon NIKKOR Fixed Focus Cameras by Akemi Akio ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

Actually, because of this lens, I decided that I needed to switch from an advanced compact (fujifilm X10) to a DSLR. I bought a D7000 carcass and this lens. Due to the price of such a set, I shot only with this bundle for about a year, I got used to the lens as if it were my own, so I may not be able to adequately assess the shortcomings. One thing's for sure - it's perfect for a leisurely artistic shoot "for the soul", shot a friend's wedding - the result is simply excellent. My copy gives the best sharpness at infinity at f4.5, it is quite possible to shoot landscapes.

Pros
  • 1) Working aperture 1.8! 2) Excellent color reproduction 3) Beautiful bokeh. (I can't compare with other 85mm lenses as I haven't used any of them) 4) Good sharpness starting from open
Cons
  • 1) Strong HA, but they can be easily fixed in lightroom / photoshop 2) Starting from f4 nuts appear, but not very critical, since you will not want to close the aperture more than 4. 3) Not very fast autofocus, not suitable for sports.
