I use this lens a lot. Actually more than my 50 or 35mm. You do have to stand quite a ways back, but the images are great. It’s a LITTLE noisy, but honestly I don’t even notice it anymore.

Best performance at F4-F8, 3 elements of ED glass, does require a firmware update in the lens through the built in port on the metal USB mount flange, from the Meinke web site. Includes a plastic semi screw on lens hood. Switchable from AF to Manual on body of lens. The firmware update fixes the performance of the focusing, AF and Manual.

I’ve had this for one day and it’s already a huge upgrade from my 18-55 mm kit lens. Quality of pictures both on preset modes and manual come out way better than before I had it. It is a bit noisy on auto focus but if you’re not using video then it’s no big deal. It came with a lens cap and hood which was a bonus, too.

O motor de foco é extremamente barulhento e por vezes pouco capaz. Em modo de vídeo, quer se desative o autofoco ou não, ele continua sempre a funcionar, ficando por vezes completamente maluco e é impossível controlá-lo. A qualidade ótica é aceitável e conseguem-se algumas imagens bonitas, mas a aberração cromática é demasiado gritante.

I grew up taking pictures with single setting 35MM lenses. I had a 50mm, 28mm, 85mm, 105mm and a 135mm for my film cameras.I got a "kit" when I bought my Nikon D3400, now a D5500. The kit has a 28 to 70 and a 70 to 300 lens. I love the flexibility of these zooms, but I felt like I was missing something when I realized that they made prime lenses. We had a trip coming up, and I decided that I needed an 80 or 85MM. This lens is stunning. It is fast, with a f/1.8 aperture.This fast aperture means that the lens opens wider, lets more light in, and shortens the focusing distance. It is a wonderful lens for taking portraits of people when there are busy backgrounds because it blurs the background, exceptionally well.I'm sorry for the wall of text, but if you really want to learn photography, or if you know photography, and can't afford those $300 to $1000 prime lenses, this is your answer. it's an excellent lens, all of the factors are thought of, and the budget user is kept in mind. LOVE this lens.

Been seeing this one around on several sites, an 85mm 1.8 for $200? Curiosity had the best of me, and boy what a piece of garbage. Autofocus is noisy, but one could live with that. Sharpness is close to non existent, maybe I’ve got a bad sample, maybe is the way this lens is. Nevertheless is going back to Amazon the same day I’ve received it. Took about 50 photos, one was somewhat sharp until you zoom in. Cloro rendition is also rather poor, photos come out lacking life no matter the subject. Definitely not worth it, save your money and go for a used Nikon 85mm 1.8, will save you from headaches and unusable photos. If I could give negative stars I would’ve of.

I read reviews where it said it was a loud lens. That is correct, but nothing bad. My issue is that there is a really bad glare that comes in all my photos no matter the light or angle shot at.

I bought this due to price and need for a better portrait specific lens. I have been impressed. The more I shoot with it, the more its value becomes apparent. Was a worthy, valid purchase. Had never heard of the brand before, but took a chance and was rewarded. I must agree with other shooters though that it can be rather indecisive on AF, almost acting as if it is second guessing itself. In manual its easy to be spot on and just as quick. Seems to work better outdoors and brings out magnificence in shots. I find it to be wonderfully sharp with incredible depth of field and bokeh that delights clients. It may not be from a big brand, but I don't feel I'm missing a thing.

I have used this for several weeks now and it produces very sharp pictures. I take pictures of flowers for greeting cards and this lens works great.

I bought this lens for a bit of cheap fun, and must say it was delivered really quickly, and the lens itself is in great condition. Even the auto-focus works well for such a cheap lens. But lens flare? I've been a professional photographer for over 50 years, and I've never seen a lens that comes close to this one for lens flare. The attached shot was taken indoors, at right-angles to a curtained window two meters away. Ergo, not a situation that lends itself to lens flare. Without the lens flare, I'd say this would be a super bargain, with the lens flare, it's just a cheap bit of fun. Are they all like mine, or was I just one of the lucky buyers :(
