For whatever it means, Ken Rockwell considers this lens to be the best Nikkor ever.

Well, it is Ken Rockewell... So one can never be sure what it means <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />
But it is obviously a good lens, just like the other 85mm f1.4 lenses on the market (Zeiss/Sony, Sigma, Samyang) and the Canon 85mm f1.2.
And the 85mm f1.8's are no slouch either (Nikon and Canon).
And even the Sony 85mm f2.8 seems to be a good lens (but a bit slow for specialized SLR portrait lens).
