I was a long time wondering about whether I Af 85mm 1.8D sell and trade for the new and have it done then without regret. The lens is a little easier but still hard enough for my taste. Despite plastic it makes a solid impression valent. Advantage to its predecessor is clearly the full aperture, contrast and sharper and very impressive. Distortion is to eliminate at my D90 no identifiable and vignetting negligible and with Lightroom easily. Chromatiache aberrations are present at maximum aperture, but far less than its predecessor and not really disturbing. Bokeh absolute class, super soft Schärfeverlauf and madness free parking potential. Now for the criticism, the AF is really slow and when my predecessor was also applicable to sports I have serious doubts. The AF is very quiet but it is extremely slow I find! That was it but also to criticism, the lens replaces the previous off and has on image quality of Aperture 8.1 to 5.2 clearly in the lead. From Aperture 2.2 I have the results Fantastically are open and it is more than useful. Who wants to save something and faster Autifokus need is to its predecessor but well served. Strong buy recommendation, in the price range there hardly better for portrait ..
