Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 85mm F3.5G ED VR

At its core, this lens integrates advanced Nikon technologies to ensure unparalleled image quality and operational efficiency. Nikon's acclaimed Vibration Reduction (VR) system minimizes camera shake, providing up to several stops of compensation for sharper handheld shots, crucial for both macro and low-light scenarios. The Silent Wave Motor (AF-S) delivers fast, quiet, and highly accurate autofocus performance, complemented by the M/A focus mode for instant manual override. Furthermore, the inclusion of ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements meticulously corrects chromatic aberrations, yielding images with remarkable contrast and color fidelity across the frame.

The AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 85mm F3.5G ED VR is engineered with an Internal Focusing (IF) mechanism, which maintains a compact lens body and prevents the front element from rotating, ideal for use with polarizing filters. Its 85mm focal length provides a comfortable working distance for macro subjects like insects and flowers, making it equally adept for stunning portraits with natural perspective and pleasing background separation, thanks to its 9-blade rounded diaphragm. Lightweight and robust, at just 12.5 oz (355g), it’s an ideal companion for field assignments.

Whether your pursuit is the intricate beauty of the miniature world or compelling everyday scenes, the Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 85mm F3.5G ED VR offers a blend of optical excellence, advanced features, and practical design. It’s an essential addition to any DX photographer's kit, promising precision and versatility for a wide range of creative challenges.
