More than just a compromise.

After my dream lens, the new AF-S 85 1.4 G I could not afford it I was thinking between 1.8 G and the 1.8 D back and forth. After I had both lenses in hand, I have decided on the old version. The new model is too heavy plastic. I also need a separate drive not for my D7000 yet for D3s.
The lens makes both cameras already at maximum aperture a good figure. As a portrait lens, it is really great and makes a wonderful bokeh. For me, the vote is clear: 5 star and an (almost) unlimited Kaufemfpehlung. The owners of 3000 and 5000 cameras as well as D40 and D60 have access to the new version.
