Nikon still makes some AF-D and some Manual lenses.This is the 85mm AF-D f/1.8 *not* the 85mm AF-D F/1.4 nor the newer variants 85mm G 1.8 nor 1.4...
I've found some of my old lenses on the d500 has issues. I found my old 85/1.8 af-d. It needs AF FINE TUNE of -8.
I'm selling it .. thought I sold it long ago
I thought that lens was pretty good? Or was that before 24mp sensors became the norm?
The old f/1.8 doesn't compare well when next to it's f/1.4 big brother. It was made back in 1994 and the original "AF" version goes back to 1987. It does well just I tried it on the D500 which seems to not like it as much as my FF cameras.
Doesn't Nikon still make one of these older 85 AF-D lenses?
But not the 85mm f/1.8 nor f/1.4
they do still make the PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D (aka Tilt - Shift) lens for $2k.
I've always been fond of their AF-D lenses, they just have an aesthetic to them that isn't found on today's lenses. But obviously modern lenses today from Nikon are usually better optically.
