Coming thick and fast Markus, well done!
This lens caused a stir when released because of it's price, looks very ordinary on the DX sensor here, not a lot better than the 50 mm F1.4G.
It suffers here wide open with both sharpness and mushiness, certainly not a viable proposition for crop bodies, not that many will find themselves on one!
The one thing that Nikon lacks (amongst others) is a stabilized standard prime, it's a huge hole for a pro camera system. I'm in the market to replace my very cheaply purchased AF50 F1.8D with it's gritty bokeh......... there just isn't one in the F mount, all excepting the Tamron 45mm.
How come the AF85mm F1.8D is way sharper than a standard prime wide open?
BTW. "It's worth mentioning" that "it's worth to check out" is, "it's worth checking out"
