85 mm f/1.8G FX lens kit

This Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G kit delivers a fast-aperture medium telephoto prime for FX-format DSLR cameras. The Silent Wave Motor provides swift, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override. A rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces smooth background rendition. Super Integrated Coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast.

FX mount with DX crop factor

The lens is built for Nikon F-mount FX bodies; on DX-format cameras the 85 mm focal length yields a 127.5 mm equivalent field of view. Internal focusing keeps the barrel length constant during operation. The aperture range spans f/1.8 to f/16 for depth-of-field control. Autofocus requires a camera body with a built-in focus motor.

Maximum aperture f/1.8

The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture enables low-light shooting and shallow depth-of-field effects for portrait work. Buyers needing a zoom range or image stabilisation should consider other options. The fixed 85 mm focal length suits dedicated portrait and detail photography. This kit includes the lens only.

Questions about this item

Is the 85mm f/1.8G the right choice for portrait work on an FX camera?

Yes, the 85mm focal length on FX format is a classic portrait length, and the bright f/1.8 aperture gives shallow depth of field and good low-light capability.

What does the f/1.8 maximum aperture actually deliver when shooting indoors?

It allows faster shutter speeds in dim conditions and creates a narrow plane of focus so the subject separates cleanly from the background.

The lens uses the Nikon F mount — does that limit autofocus speed on newer bodies?

The built-in Silent Wave Motor drives autofocus directly, so focus speed and quietness depend on the lens motor, not the camera's screw drive.
