Maybe it can all be blamed to sample variation but who knows? Maybe I can do a test one day. I never did any tests between the newer variants of the 85/1.4 and this lens but I can tell you that this lens has less CA wide-open. Some even feel that the older lens is better wide-open. While the newer lens has autofocus and other new features, some people still swear by their old Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 Ai-S. This lens was so good that it was still being made until 2005 parallel to it’s successor, the equally-amazing Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AF-D. It was a very good lens then and it’s certainly still a very good lens now. There were stories that I heard about people switching over to Nikon just so that they can shoot with this lens. This lens shook the photography industry when it came out since it’s the fastest 85mm lens in its class for 35mm SLR photography. Just look at that glass! The Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 Ai-S is an impressive to look at. There were stories of people shifting over to Nikon just to use this lens and I know a guy who did just that in the ’80s, I think he was shooting with a Pentax back then. Since Nikon’s 85mm lenses at the time were so good, it was hard to make an 85/1.4 to top these but Nikon made it happen in 1981 and it didn’t disappoint. While both lenses are great, they lack the extra 0.5% that an 85/1.4 can offer. During this period when Nikon didn’t have a 85/1.5 for the F-mount, people only have the Nikkor 85mm f/2 Ai-S and its earlier sibling – the New-Nikkor 85mm f/1.8. Nikon also made the first 85/1.5 lens for the Nikon rangefinder line in the 1950s and it took decades before we see a lens in this class made for the SLR. It’s the first 85/1.4 ever made for 35mm SLR photography. Today, we are going to look into the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 Ai-S lens! This lens’ reputation is the stuff of legends. Speaking of lenses that make an impression, I’ll be showing you guys one lens that doesn’t need a calling card and its nick name is bokeh. Maybe the sight of the lens is all it needs to change their opinions. Maybe if I have an impressive lens with me then that would probably be enough to announce my intention that I am a gentleman with a Nikon and a Nikkor. The way things work here in Tokyo is very different and I will be viewed as a creep. There are times when I wish I have a lens for portraiture with me all the time but it’s going to be awkward to ask random beautiful women for a snap. I am always infatuated by pretty girls so I got into photography. This is just one small thing that makes life worth living. I hate summers because it’s hot but the only consolation I get is to enjoy the sight of beautiful girls in their summer attire.
The sakura trees are blooming more than a week earlier than usual and this is a sign that we are going to have a very warm summer this year.
Hello, everybody! Spring is officially here and the weather is starting to get warmer.
