Nikon Nikkor AF-S 105 mm f/1.4E ED

Usually only professional, expensive telephoto lenses feature really big entrance pupils. In their case an active diameter might amount to 10 cm - I think here about such devices as a 2/200, a 2.8/300 or a 4/400. The 10 cm level is not the upper limit,...

solid, compact and sealed casing ; interesting, unique parameters ; sensational image quality in the frame centre ; very good image quality on the edge of the APS-C/DX sensor ; good image quality on the edge of full frame ; negligible lateral chromatic...

a bit too high level of longitudinal chromatic aberration ; performance against bright light could have been better ; significant vignetting on full frame detector

Nikon 105mm f/1.4E ED review

There's no such thing as a perfect lens, but the Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED comes incredibly close. The original 105mm f/1.4 delivers exceptional quality mixing beautiful bokeh and sharp subjects. The lens' bulky size, however, means photographers will...

Excellent image quality ; Beautiful bokeh ; Near zero distortion ; Solid autofocus performance ; Compact, lighter than competition

No image stabilization ; More expensive than competition

The Nikkor 105mm f/1.4 E ED creates dreamy portraits with sharp details and beautifully defocused backgrounds. If we had an unlimited budget but could only choose a single portrait lens, this would be it. The focal length is flattering and the image...

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED Review

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED is an eye-wateringly expensive short telephoto prime lens that delivers amazing image quality. Shooting wide-open at f/1.4 on a full-frame camera like the D810 allows you to easily separate the subject from the...
