Nikon 85mm f/1.4 D AF is a very, very good lens. It is made with the same sturdy mechanics as the 28mm f/1.4D AF and 20-35mm f/2.8D AF.
It is especially well suited to the new Nikon D3, in fact, this is the lens with which the Nikon D3 is shown in many of Nikon's promotional photos.

Description
"A fast f/1.4 aperture makes this lens a standout for sports photography and photojournalism. With Nikon's typical attention to details, its aperture has extra blades, enabling the diaphragm shape to be a near-perfect circle. This ensures crisper images and more flattering highlights in the out-of-focus portion of the image.

Pros
"A sharp prime lens; Fast at f/2, sharp even in the corners; Fast AF (faster than 85mm f/1.4) and nearly as fast as my AF-S lenses; Defocus capability - it does work but need some playing with
|
Pros
"Light weight for its fast 2.8 Aperture. Solid build. Sharp. Even at 2.8 Beautiful Bokeh. Built in hood. Couples well with a tele converter
|
Pros
The best portrait lens made by Nikon. Razor sharp. Gorgeous Bokeh. Large aperture, ideal for wedding, portrait and travel
|
Pros
Excellent picture quality, very sharp, solid like a tank. I only wish the lens hood was bayonet style
|
Cons
"Less contrast than say a newer lens with nano-crystal coating (or more ED lenses) but arguably more favorable for people/portraits
|
Cons
"No rear lens to protect the diaphragm blades, weight (due to ruggedness, though)
|
Cons
slow AF, not the most accurate
|
Cons
Major dissapointment not to have a lens bag, Nikon went cheap on this one
