Nikon 85mm f\/1.4, known to be one of the best portrait lens by Nikon. This lens has a nine bladed diaphragm which is capable of producing some stunning bokeh. I took a few shots at f\/1.4 \u2013 f\/2.<\/p>\n

I had no problem with the lens, it autofocus pretty fast, however the focus was abit slow to respond when I was shooting into the sun., but this is normal. The weight of the lens didn\u2019t seem to bother me, unlike the 70-200mm f\/2.8 which I need to take a break every 15mins <\/p>\n

The lens lives up to its critiques with exceptional sharpness and amazing bokeh. Check out the images below.<\/p>\n

85mm @ f\/2<\/p>\n

This was shot during sunset. The flare and the colour of the light make the image more dramatic.<\/p>\n

85mm @ f\/2<\/p>\n

I love shooting with flare. This was shot directly in front of the sun, the flare is well controlled.<\/p>\n

85mm @ f\/1.4<\/p>\n

Cropped from image above. The 9 bladed diaphragm gives a superb circular bokeh. The image looks sharp even at f\/1.4<\/p>\n
