The quality of the image is quite superior and you will surely notice the difference once you add this to your Nikon DSLR camera. It can be used to express bright and beautiful blur to your photos and it can be used to shoot at all distances and still get the desired effect.
Nikon changed the optical design and improved it so that it now makes for the best performance you can get from a fast fix local length NIKKOR lens so that you are always ready to shoot. Flare and ghost are no longer a problem because AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G lens has a very special nano crystal coat which was adopted by Nikon especially to solve these problems. As far as the auto focus goes, you won’t even hear it thanks to the SWM or Silent Wave Motor added but you can also select to focus it manually.
