The AFS85mm f1.4G lens re-designs Nikon’s flagship portrait lens to incorporate anti-reflection Nano Crystal coating to deliver brilliant, high contrast image quality.  Its brand new optical system ensures exceptional performance in low light, with superb depth of field and beautiful smooth bokeh from the 9 rounded aperture blades.

 

Due to start shipping from September 2nd with SRP of £1449.99.

 

Also announced this week was the revolutionary new AFS28-300mm f3.5-5.6VR lens!  We’re not quite sure how Nikon have managed to cram this optical set-up into such a compact and affordable package.  We thought it must be a DX lens, but no, it’s full-frame!  We’re sure this will be as popular as the 18-200mm lens was when launched!  The design promises exceptional build quality with ED glass, aspherical elements and VRII that will be a great addition for travel and features professionals, as well as high-end enthusiasts.  With an SRP of £869.99, and due to start delivery in early September, you’d better get your name down quickly!
