All the Nikkor 85mm lenses are excellent, but there are

many optically different versions (and MANY different

barrel versions). See www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/slemn.html

for more, though currently I prefer the 85mm f1.8 AF Nikkor.

(BTW, I have a fine 85mm f1.4 MF Nikkor available -see:

www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/fs.htm).
