I will not go around the bush: its only drawback is the lack of clearly autofocus, and image playback as this stone, I understand the price gap with the Nikkor. The Nikkor meets a pro requirement that the AF is very fast and when the depth of field is short at this point (85mm f / 1.4 on FF sensor, it is really about the size of a sheet of paper cigarette) in performance, it makes all the difference. I withdraw a star since "I love", but it is not "perfect," even though I knew very well that he was free of AF at purchase. Let's say it would have been 5 stars if I was not planning its replacement as soon as finances allow.
Now if you're not in the sports disciplines or animal, this should not bother you too much. For my part, I've mostly portraits and wedding reportage, and there he excels. Sure, it might make the MAP quickly, but the ring is wide and strong, which prevents accidental movement and allows good control. Remains only the AF and VR turn into bomb.
Nothing wrong with: its weight is suitable, its construction is remarkable and especially the image quality of the photos is impeccable. The bokeh is soft and creamy, very aesthetic.
If I were pinailleur I bouderais on the relative quality of all outer cap and the visor but it is not crippling, far from it.
Finally, 300 included delivery, it has its place in all bags. A must-have for every portrait photographer.
