85mm lens for Nikon SLR cameras From the Manufacturer
Lens-making is an art--Nikon artisans craft Nikkor optics from the finest
materials, taking pride in adding their intellect and technique to bring the
world's finest lenses to life. They push the leading edge of lens-making in
their effort to provide the "glass" that makes the world's greatest pictures.
AF Nikkor lenses work with Nikon SLRs for optimal performance, even the very
latest. The Nikon 85mm f1.8D AF Nikkor is a compact and portable medium
telephoto lens ideal for indoor or outdoor portraits. An excellent choice for
your first telephoto lens, it features subtle blurring of background for
beautifully natural and evocative portraits, Rear Focusing system for fast and
smooth optical performance, and weighs 13.2 ounces. Nikon Super Integrated
Coating ensures exceptional performance To enhance the performance of its
optical lens elements, Nikon employs an exclusive multilayer lens coating that
helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level. Nikon Super Integrated
Coating achieves a number of objectives, including minimized reflection in the
wider wavelength range and superior color balance and reproduction. Nikon
Super Integrated Coating is especially effective for lenses with a large
number of elements, like our Zoom-Nikkors. Also, Nikon's multilayer coating
process is tailored to the design of each particular lens. The number of
coatings applied to each lens element is carefully calculated to match the
lens type and glass used, and also to assure the uniform color balance that
characterizes Nikkor lenses. This results in lenses that meet much higher
standards than the rest of the industry. Rear Focusing With Nikon's Rear
Focusing (RF) system, all the lens elements are divided into specific lens
groups, with only the rear lens group moving for focusing. This makes
autofocusing operation smoother and faster. Distance information D-type and
G-type Nikkors relay subject-to-camera distance information to AF Nikon camera
bodies. This then makes possible advances like 3D Matrix Metering and 3D
Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash. Note: D-type and G-type Nikkors provide
distance information to the following cameras: Auto exposure; F6, F5, F100,
F90X, F80, F75, F70, F65, F60, F55, F50, Pronea S, Pronea 600i, D2 series, D1
series, D100, and D70s/D70. Flash control; F6, F5, F100, F90X, F80, F75, F70,
