Used Yongnuo YN 85mm f/1.8 Lens for Nikon F

There are many reasons why you should buy fast 85mm prime lens:

• • The Ideal Portrait Length – 85mm is the ideal portrait length because it maintains closeness to your subject without showing any distortion. Distortion, or lack thereof, is what is important to all photographers to ensure that things like noses don’t seem too big. Additionally, 85mm lenses tend to be very sharp and render the background out of focus in a way that is pleasing to the eyes. This is very useful when shooting headshots in the studio with subjects.
  • Great for low light photography – with the wide aperture of f/1.8, especially going from your typical kit lens which is usually f/5.6, this lens gives you 3 stops or EIGHT times (2x2x2) more light coming through the lens opening. This allows you to use either a faster shutter speed and avoid camera shake, or a lower ISO and avoid the noise you get from higher ISOs, or a combination of both.
  • Great value, low cost – at a price of approx $200 it might be the best choice for the first lens investment
  • Beautiful bokeh – prime lenses typically produce nicer bokeh (how the lens renders out of focus areas) than most zooms, and with the f/1.8 aperture you can make some really nice bokeh. Bright lights, off in the background, twinkle with this little lens!
  • Sharpness – prime or fixed focal length lenses are usually inherently sharper than zoom lenses, partly due to there being less moving parts inside the lens, and less lens elements. You will also experience increased sharpness due to the wider aperture which allows, as I mentioned above, being able to shoot at faster shutter speeds and lower ISO. Being able to get a fast enough shutter speed to eliminate camera shake, or freeze a moving subject has a lot to do with getting sharper images as does minimizing noise.
  • It’s versatile – the 85mm lens is a great street shooting lens, not too wide, not too long. On a cropped sensor (any non full frame camera body) it is also a great portrait lens, just long enough to remove distortion from your subject’s face and flatter them a bit more, not so long you need to stand across the street.
  • Great for traveling – because it’s light weight, and is a fast lens (big aperture f/1.8) the 85mm is a great addition to your bag for trips. 85mm f/1.8 fills the bill for low light photograph that the other zoom lenses can’t because of their aperture limitations.
