Overview

The Nikon AF-S 105mm F1.4E ED is an exceptional portrait lens with stunning sharpness and bokeh. Its optical design includes three ED elements and Nano Crystal Coat to minimize aberrations and flare. The lens is large and heavy at 982g, with a plastic barrel but solid build quality. Autofocus is smooth and quiet, and the electronic diaphragm requires compatible bodies. It suits portrait and wedding photographers seeking a fast, sharp telephoto prime, though its size and price ($2,100+) may deter some.
