Nikon Unveils Four New Nikkor Lenses

AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G ED

A big Nikon lens announcement just wouldn't be complete without a super-fast prime and this fits the bill nicely. Its extremely low aperture and 85mm focal length (127.5mm DX equivalent), make this an outstanding portrait lens for professionals and advanced shooters alike.

The f/1.4 aperture offers an incredible ability to separate one's subject from the background, even in low light. Like the FX 24-120mm f/4, this lens features a manual/auto focus toggle switch, Internal Focus, a Silent Wave Motor and of course Nikon's Nano Crystal Coating. It joins several other 85mm offerings from Nikon, including the affordable ($400) f/1.8, the already-pricy 85mm f/1.4D IF and the 85mm f/3.5G DX Micro ED VR.

Built to last, this rugged lens comes with a $1699.95 street price tag. This is a serious piece of glass, for serious photographers.
