Nikon Nikkor 85/1.8
I picked this up with a lot I purchased from the Adolph Gasser going out of business sale earlier this year.
Nikkor 85/1.8 by luisalegria, on Flickr
This is the later 1970's version of the earlier Nikkor-H.C 85/1.8
Mine seems to be one of the earlier ones, probably from 1975-76 going by the serial number.
It has been well used, and no doubt to good purpose, at it is a very fine lens.
Its not at all a rare lens, and a good number of other people have written up their opinions of it. In fact its not the first one I've had, I had another and sold it some years ago.
I am documenting it because I did use it quite a bit recently. I will be selling this at some point, as I have a superbly beat-up Nikkor-H to serve in its place in my beat-up Nikon collection.
What can I say? This is a classic portrait lens, sharp wide open and even more so stopped down, nice bokeh, capable of surprisingly close focus for what it is (about 3 feet), quite resistant to flare, and etc. It is not too expensive on ebay if you look a bit, perhaps (with the Nikkor-H) the best bargain in vintage portrait lenses today.
All shot on my Pentax K30 on which it mounts perfectly well, as do most older Nikkors. Everything (that I recall) shot wide open using a polarizer as an ersatz ND filter. That itself flared somewhat. Shot in various places in San Francisco, many in the Musee Mechanique.

Excellent pics.
It seems to be a great lens.
And what about the canon nFD 85/1,8
Is this better than the Nikkor or the last is the best? |

Great images! I have the same lens, though it hasn't been Ai-ed. It was the second Nikkor I ever bought, back in the late 1970s. I got some sand in it back in the mid-90s and set it aside -- never cleaned it out until this year, when I finally disassembled it and cleaned it up. A few nicks in the front element, but does great on my D3200 and D5200. _________________ "Here's to the wonder" -- Alan Boyle

Wow! Nice photo essay! I have a nice 105/2.5, so I've always told myself I don't really need an 85, but actually I have a couple in Canon FD mount. And I gotta admit, there's just something about the 85's focal length that's -- just right! And yours is particularly sweet. _________________ Michael
