Nikon 85mm Micro Lens - Find That Perfect Shot, Macro-Style
Getting that perfect up-close nature shot can be a challenge, but the Nikon 85mm Micro lens is capable of handling that as well as other aspects of photography.
Nikon has been manufacturing the "Micro" series of lenses (its macro solution) for years now and has worked on constantly increasing the quality and precision of each Micro lens.
This particular lens, released in 2009, includes features such as vibration reduction technology, a nano-style lens coating and a silent focusing motor.
In order to discover more about how this macro lens functions, a review was conducted of its product specifications, claims made by the manufacturer and benefits of use.
Outlined below are the findings of this review, which will hopefully assist the reader in making an informed decision when considering this macro lens.
The initial overview of the Nikon 85mm Micro lens' product specifications gives greater insight into how the lens functions.
This lens has an aperture range of f/3.
5 to f/32 and has a maximum angle of view of 19 degrees (DX format).
This lens works in DX & FX in DX Crop Modes and uses the standard Nikon F-Bayonet mount system.
The lens construction has a super integrated coating and consists of 14 elements in 10 groups.
It is able to utilize automatic focus, manual focus and a combination of both, giving it superior versatility when it comes to focusing.
The dimensions of this lens are approximately 2.
9" x 3.
9" and it weighs around 13 ounces.
Nikon has espoused several different claims that supposedly speak to the functionality and performance of the lens.
For starters, the internal focus is claimed to provide quiet, quick auto-focusing while maintaining the same length of the lens and working distance regardless of focus.
The Manual/Automatic focus switch allows the photographer to quickly switch back and forth between the two settings.
The Super Integrated Coating on the lens helps increase light transmission and color while reducing flare and ghosting.
Finally, the diaphragm renders the out-of-focus elements in the photo to appear more natural.
Finally, an overview of the benefits of using this macro lens will be discussed.
The Nikon Vibration Reduction system helps shoot at far slower shutter speeds than is available by default with any camera.
It is well-designed in ergonomic terms and is quite portable; just throw it in your bag and go.
Color rendition is good while coma, distortion and color fringing is not apparent.
Life-size photos are obviously a strong-suit as one can capture a one-inch by half-inch object from just ten inches away and have it fill the complete photo.
For any photographer who loves capturing nature, portraiture or general photography, this 85mm macro lens provides a solution to all of the aforementioned themes.
Being an affordable Nikon piece on top of that, amateurs and professionals alike have much to gain from using this lens and little to lose.
When it comes to balancing sharpness, bokeh, distortion and aberrations, the Nikon 85mm Micro lens does a great job and can live up to whatever its photographer throws at it.
