Nikon 85mm f/1.8G AF-S FX Nikkor Lens - Black, Telephoto, Prime, Compatible with Nikon F Mount - Renewed

I took a chance with this item as most of my gear has been bought new, it’s early days ( it arrived early Well done the seller / sender ) but I am happy enough with the Lens, no marks at all , works perfectly and is a very good product. It arrived early as stated in good boxing ( original ) and packaging. Very Good value, nicely presented , going to enjoy based on use so far. Recommended as comes with guarantees and 30 day return option, this won’t be going back 😉

Wer in Vollformat Porträts fotografieren will, kommt als Normalverdiener bei Nikon nicht um dieses Objektiv herum, das schon bei Offenblende phantastische Ergebnisse liefert. Kaufempfehlung!!!

Excellent lens. Sharp, edge-to-edge. Superb contrast. Fast enough for most applications. Versatile focal length, comparable to my old Leica R 90mm f2.0, at a fraction of the cost. The only con is a relatively long minimum focus distance. I shoot full frame and sometimes find myself wanting to pull in tighter than the lens allows.

Echt Klasse.

I have never ordered used or refurbished camera lens but I thought I'd give it a try as I was saving about 10% off a new one. This lens came with front and back lens caps and lens bag, it had no signs of wears or marks on the outside and hit focus on my test shots (Lens seems to work just fine but only time will tell). What I didn't get was the original box or paperwork however it comes with a 90 warranty. So if you are okay with just 90 day warranty and no original box you'll save about 10% getting a "renewed" lens. As for the Nikon 85mm f1.8 Prime Lens, it's great. The bokeh is very good even at higher F-stops so this lens will be an outstanding portrait lens. This is a great lens option if you can't afford the $1400 on the f 1.4 model.

I have been wanting to get the 85mm 1.8 for quite a while now. When I saw this 'renewed' version on Amazon I thought I would take a chance. It was about $200 cheaper than new - that's a lot on this reasonably affordable lens. I have a 35mm, a 50mm and a 70-300 which technically covers the 85mm focal length, but that's at f4.5 - f5.6. After reading numerous reviews and watching videos, I thought I would like the 85mm for my uses, which is typically taking candids of the kids around the house. I use it on my Nikon D800. The lens came and was as described. The lens does have slight cosmetic wear - nothing remarkable, maybe just a little fading or softness of the edges from use. However, optically and mechanically it works perfectly. I have enjoyed using it and now keep it mounted as my primary lens. The only thing that kept me from giving it five stars was that it didn't come with the lens bag, lens hood or original lens cap on the camera side (the twist on one) - it did have the original cap for the outside. I would definitely consider buying a used/renewed lens from this seller again in the future.
