I have just ordered this lens to be my primary portrait lens for my D700! I have looked for tests made on a FF Nikon, but have not found any. Can any of you help me with your own experience on a FF with this lens? It got such an outstanding review here, but made on a D200, and I am wondering if it is just as good on FF. If it is, it is one of Nikons best deals, because the price is very attractive.

if you are not that "fault-finder" type you will not regret the buy. I use 85/1,8 on D700 and i am a happy user. of course it has drawbacks:
- the highlists (circles, i do not know the correct word) in the background are edged from 2 or 2.2
- the bokeh can be a bit nervous between 1,8-2,5
and that is all. all other things made me happy:
- sharp at any aparture
- enough contrast wide open, perfect from 2,5
- low CA of any kind (can be seen on very very contrasty areas...)
- AF is accurate and quick
- C-AF works flawlessly, i get contuniously perfect results (walking people, 2-3 meters+ distance)
