Sample Photos for Nikon 85mm F1.4G AF-S

Yup the box of the Nikon 85mm F1.4G AF-S (Do you all see the "N" there) x"D

Alright, first thing first I didn't bought this lens but I am glad that I manage to have some hands on with it last week. (A million thanks to Jackson from Elite Professional for allowing me to hang out at his shop to try out this great lens). Alright, to set expectation right, this is not going to be a lens review post. :"P I think it will be more like a sample photos post and some of my own personal thought after I used it for this lens for the whole darn 2 hours. :"P

More photos after the jump...

Personally I think that this is a great lens. it's D predecessor do have a nickname as the "the cream machine". and I guess I could see it why by now. Seriously insane creamy bokeh from most of the shoot. (*sweat*). in terms of sharpness, I think that it is great even it is wide open at F1.4. I bet the Nano coating has really really reduce the Chromatic Aberration (CA) - specially on the highlight section as well as enhance the warmness of the orange color (Specially when the light is from a Neon light) and also you are going to love the contrast produce via this lens. but you will notice some slight (really really slightly) CA specially when it comes to the edge of black and white borders. (But I think it is superb and has keep the CA in the minimum range). I will say that the AF-S on this lens has really improve the focusing speed compare to the it G predecessor.

Gonna love the bokeh at the back

The lens is floating... ~xO (Gonna love the glow and warm of the neon light - Thanks to Nano coating) ;)

just some slight and minimal CA on the black and white area - you will see it at the border of the  3 EASY STEPS. (red and green)

Jackson at work

Out for a quick break. :"P

Last one, I think I love this one the most (Specially on the separation of the subject from the background is just nice.) x")

Anyway, I will say that Nikon 85mm F1.4G AF-S is a great lens to have if you got the budget for it. I believe it is going to be a great portrait lens that is going to shine in all occasions and lighting conditions. (At least I have falling in love with it so far)  :") I really hope that I could bring it home and do a complete test drive on this lens. (I bet Jackson is going to kill me on that x"P)

Alright, this is going to be a final post before I depart tomorrow. Again, hope that I will be able to take more photos while I am on my road and share it with  you guys later. Do take good care everyone and see you all real soon. ;) Cheers.
