Very nice lens, obviously it was new. I used this with a 35mm adapter (Brevis35) attached to an XL2 (Canon Camcorder). It worked out great for a movie i shot with it.

I bought this lens when I purchased my Nikon D70s in February. I have to admit I have not used it too much. However, when I have used it, I am pleased with the results. Mostly, as I have been walking around town practicing taking photos, I have little use for the 85mm, because it’s not good for “point-and-shoot” scenes.
When I have taken portrait shots, however, the 85mm is very clear and creates great depth of field, which I find important.
I hope this was helpful.

This is an excellent portrait lens, sharp, bright, quick to focus. Well worth the money.

It’s very sharp lens. You will be wised to use it extensively on little children, they have such clear faces. Be careful when you use this lens with middle age women. It could show imperfecton in thousand fold. Again very sharp, very fast Af focusing on my Nikon F80. Ecxelent portrature lens, but be careful-women will hate you for unflattering portrature. My advise use black and white film-you will see less imperfection in prints with the same rasor sharp focus.

This lens is really all it’s cranked up to be. It produces sharp, vivid pictures with nice bokeh (if your aperture is set right). Focus is sharp and accurate — everything you expect from a PRIME lens. Definitely a good buy.
