Fun Review! I really enjoy the comfortable approach of this video, keep it up!!

Helpful comparison - concise and to the point. Thanks!!!

Nice video, it would have been great to see either the Nikkor 105 f2 DC or the135 F2 DC as well. Those are considered some of Nikon's top portrait lenses, they are a little old but the pros swear by them, seeing how they stack up against more modern glass would have been great. Keep up the good work.

Honestly T & C, music is NOT required, your voices are smooth enough !!

I love your reviews and tutorials! Enjoyed the review even though I am shooting Canon (with a 85f1.2 and 50f1.8 for portrait). I love the new setup that is less techy oriented and lively. Just the music is a little loud at the beginning. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for this awesome video. I'm looking to rent an 85mm soon for my D3300 and this video was very informative. Keep up the awesome work

Thanks for the work and effort you put into this video. Really helpful

Great video! Sincerely thanks for this! Can you make more such comparisons of lenses for different types of photography - landscape, astro, etc?

Great job guy's!! Just got my 105 three weeks ago and LOVE IT!!! Mated with my new d850...

Loved the review. Thank you for pointing out the “flare blobs.” I thought it was my fault or a really bad copy.

i must say i really like this new kind of video you put lately

Thank you! Great Job. I wonder what lights did you use on you? It looks great too. Best

Lensrentals is great, I used them a couple times to tryout lenses in focal lengths I don’t usually use and can’t justify buying for once a year need.

Thanks for the video. For decades, I used the Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 lens in a 35/85/180mm kit. In 2016, I replaced the f/1.8 with the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 D AF for less than $800. One 85mm f/1.4 feature that I really like is the 77mm filter size because it is the same filter size as my other two favorite portrait lenses -- the 150mm f/4 soft focus and the 180mm f/4.5 that I use on my Mamiya RB67 medium format SLR.

Thanks for awesome review....new 85mm F1.8 ultimate battles video , keep shooting

Very helpful comparisson. I use the Nikon 85mm 1.8G It was so much cheaper than the 1.4 and i'm really pleased with the result.

The 85mm f/1.8G is a very good lens for the price. The main thing it has going for it is its sharpness but it just can't keep up with most of the other lenses, particularly the Milvus, Sigma and Nikkor 105mm but they are a lot more money. It is also worth mentioning the older Sigma 85mm f/1.4 ex dg hsm is a great lens, which can be bought second hand for around the same price as the Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G and when that lens was tested again the 85mm Milvus the reviewer found the 2 lenses to be very similar: www.thephoblographer.com/2015/09/19/lens-comparison-sigma-85mm-f1-4-ex-dg-hsm-vs-zeiss-85mm-f1-4-milvus/

Always depends on your needs of course... Some people prefer it over the Nikon 85 1.4 for sharpness and focus speed not even just price. I guess the downside is the obvious it's not f 1.4. Definitely not as dreamy bokeh. It doesn't focus very close but that might be true of 85mm's in general. I as well have heard good things about the old Sigma 85 1.4 but it won't focus as quickly as the Nikon and a main priority for me.

Personally, I have never a big fan of the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G, which is why I got the Milvus originally. It just feels a little bit 'mah'. It is sharp enough for most things but I hate the contrast which feels a bit anaemic.

Kresimir Delac I have a 85mm 1.8g , its the third copy . Very unreliable AF under f2. All three copies did this . I have a Nikon d810.All so cromatic abbreviation is in some cases not fixable it's that bad I now have the Sigma Art 85mm , it's amazing but only after you af fine tune it with usb dock and Focal collaboration tool. It renders beautiful , I would have kept the Nikon 1.8g was it not for that awefull af

Liked this shorter kind of more simple test but still direct and not over anyones head. Keep em coming, for example macro lenses!

I’ve been studying for months what makes a Zeiss lens have that “pop”. I have asked on every forum, everywhere, even Zeiss themselves. The way each glass is made, the purity in its crystal like state, being formed so pure in its clarity. Then it hit me......... Whenever you import each image you take with the Zeiss, it actually imports a picture style that tells the software to bump up that amazing clarity slider. So now you know the secret, use the clarity slider on all your lenses!

Why no test of the Tamron SP 85mm F/1.8 Di VC USD?

informative. thanks for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up.

I bought the Zeiss Milvus 85 about 6 months back and couldn't be more happy. You are quite right about it's focus being almost like a razor-blade sharp but I guess that's what the aperture adjustment is for and once you get use to that it's one of my favourite lenses. I'm now looking towards the Milvus 135mm f/2 lens to complete the range I need. Keep up the great work, really enjoy your channel. Cheers from Paul in Salisbury East, South Australia.

I've struggled with my Sigma 50m Art on the d810 to the point I don't hardly use it anymore. Especially on portrait shoots. Just can't trust it. Focus accuracy issues big time. Sounds as though this may be common after hearing what you've said about the 85 art and focusing reliability. Helpful video as usual. Thanks.

Nice video as always. Would love to see a video with strict budget-lenses (perhaps a comparison). Is this anything you plan to do?

Very interesting video. I think that this shows that quality increments get smaller as you move up the price range. I think that most people would be able to easily see the difference between a $100 lens against a $200 lens. But if you went from a $1000 lens to a $2000-$3000 lens, the differences would be less noticeable. Personally I do shoot a lot of portrait / fashion / glamour images. I have a Nikon 85mm F1.8 which I am very happy with. I mainly shoot from F2.0 to F2.8. I get great results with this set-up and at around £400 here in the UK, this is an affordable lens. This is roughly a quarter of the UK price of the lenses that you review here. Although the lenses that you have reviewed here are great lenses. Whether they would produce images four times better than mine, I am not sure......

Nice comparison! Based on that, and if money was no object, I'd get the Nikon 105 also. However, given that money is an object, I'd get the Rokinon... 😀

For that price, jokes aside the Nikon 85mm f1.8G.

I have a hard time going much under f2 since the so little detail is in focus for close ups. I'll keep my f1.8 Nikon D at around $300 these days.

I'm not a 'Nikon Guy', but enjoyed this comparison. Have you noticed how sharp you two are in the clip!!!! Woa!!! looks great what ever you recorded this with.

what was this video shot with..?gorgeous quality.. Thank you. Also, how do you think the fuji 56 1.2 compares to the nikon85?

My favourite portrait lens is the Tamron 85 1.8 VC. I Know, 1.8, but ultra sharp, fast / reliable focusing, weather sealed, light weight, 9 rounded blades, and affordable. That 105 is pretty cool though.

Interesting video !!! Would really like to see something similar for the Sony a7r3 with the different 85 mm , the batis 135 mm , the sony 100 mm stf , and maybe the rokinon 100 mm for the cheap options

Thank you for your comparison! Got that Sigma Art, reasoned by focal length, autofocus and sharpness! Don't regret anything at all

Hey guys, quick but fun to watch review. Lots of people care about bokeh, (among photographers at least!). You forgot to mention the Zeiss Otus 85 f/1.4 - if you try one it's like going to Venice Italy. Hard to forget...

5:30 i notice guess im a snob best line in the vid.Thank you guys for an amazing vid. Im still on the fence on which one to get but i have a really good insight thanks to you!

I picked up the Nikon 105. It's insane. Instant incredible, meaningful artistic photos. 105 is the perfect focal length for portraits on a full frame camera. It's really sharp and bokeh is almost perfect. Using it on my Z6II with ftzii adapter. It's a dream!

Nice review, well done, for the very few astrophotographers the Sigma will deliver the best shot concerning coma and astigmatism control.

I have been using the Zeiss 85mm F1.4 planar and the Nikkor 85m F1.8G! put it this way, the nikkor is useful with moving subjects and ease! the Zeiss might be better for indoor etc. I have used it on locations and got wonderful results but you have to work harder with it :) as its manual

Rokinon didn't get enough credit here. It may perform a little weaker than the others here but it's *miles* apart from them in price and with that in mind I find it impressive how well it keeps up with the others. Also, their 135mm f2 is jawdroppingly good

Great video as always. Im a Canon shooter. I would like to see a Video like this but with Canon lenses. Still, great video. Thank you!

Nice dots shirt, must be helpful for perfect focusing !

Hello to you both, you are doing a good job and that's why I would appreciate having your honest opinion on the AF-S 24-120mm f / 4G ED VR. I know you are not fans of the "lens kit", but because it comes with the purchase of my new D750 and the price of the kit is very interesting, I am tempted. My goal is to do short-term portrait and wedding and while waiting to go to 105 1.4, I just want to make sure that I'm not mistaken. Thank you!

Why no field test of the Zeiss Planar 85mm 1.4?

Good to see you're reviewing stuff we can all afford to buy - Cheers.

Ayyyyeeee!!! Great review! I'm definitely going to use y'all code to save me some moneeeeyyyy! Whoa! 😄👍🏽

Tony with d850 how easy with nail focus with zeiss innlive view focus peaking ? I m tempted for that lens hows the overall rendering n colour compare to others

Great review 👍 Did you try the Sigma 105mm 1.4??

Thanks for the great content! 🌷☀️What lens did you use to record this video btw?

Why not include the 85mm f1.8 from nikon to be another budget friendly option like the rokinon, I'm curious how they match up against each other

I’m a tad surprised about the Zeiss lens, a very interesting video even though I don’t shoot portraits and my only 85mm is the Zuiko f2.

How long is this code good for? I'm going to shoot some Grand Prix racing in March and want to rent the Nikon 200-500 for my D610.

Yup, I have the Nikon 105 and its awesome!

"Footbally" bokeh balls could pass as a poor mans anamorphic appearance i guess.. lol Great video as always Tony and Chelsea

Om the Sigma did you dock and update the firmware for that lens? That tends to fix the focusing on them.

I also own the Sigma 85 f1.4 and found the AF off unless corrected by the AF Dock. Did you try improve the Sigma's AF by using the Dock?

have you ever tested the pana leica 42.5 1.2? I was looking at buying that lens next for a nice portrait lens.

What do you think of the wide angle Macro lens that came with my Nikon d3400? It says HD 0.43X AF Wide angle lens 55 MM. I haven't used it yet, but is it good for Macro photography? Food? Insects? Portraits?

I'm getting right now the Canon 85mm 1.4 IS.. looks like a great lens for portraits

I just purchased my first beginner DSLR. I have a Nikon D5000, what is the best reasonably priced portrait lens should I purchase for a beginner?

I really like the comparison and all these are F1.4 lenses. I just went through the same comparison minus the Zeiss, but plus the Tamron 85 1.8 and Sigma 135mm. I ended up with the Tamron. It basically tied the Sigma for sharpness (better in the corners at F1.8) but the image stabilization was killer. I didn't feel I needed F1.4 given the stabilization. The irony is my budget was higher but I ended purchasing the least expensive of these lenses. The best of them I felt was the Nikon 105 and Sigma 135. I will likely pick up one of these two (probably the 135, love the extra length and I felt it was slightly sharper than the 85's)

I recently shot some portraits with old micro 55mm Nikkors from the 60's - amazing clarity for under 200 bucks

Any thoughts on Tokina lenses? Thinking of the 11-16mm DX f2.8 . Not going to use this for portrait =s but landscapes.

Thank you for that awesome review. I'm so disappointed in the quality of the lens, except for Ziess. I think the ghosting on the 85mm choices make them unacceptable for portraits, but OK for weddings. I would like to know if you stop them down does the ghosting get any better ? Also how does Sony fare in their 85 mm line up? Thanks again guys. BTW, how does a 105 win the 85mm round up , sad.

I used lenrentals to try out the Nikon 200-500 on my D500. Great service they offer.

I'm just an amatuer photographer, just using camera of smartphone and planning on switching to dslr. I saw your video of what lenses to choose from for different kinds of slr (fullframe,aps-c) btw.

Sigma has the ability to be fine tuned with the docking system. I've found the focus quality can be greatly improved.

Can you make a review of the Zhing Yi 85mm f/1.2 lens , thank you ^^

Love lensrentals!!!

I have the 85mm 1.4 D lens and except for not having modern coatings is a great portrait glass. It used to be called the “Cream Machine” due to its bokeh. And if you can find one, grab it.

Love you guys!

I would have liked to see the Tamron tested as well. The Tamron test score on DXOmark.com is higher than the Nikon 85mm and the 105mm

I own both the Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 Milvus and the Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E and there are a few things which might be worth adding. The Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 Milvus is my favourite lens but I have found it does vignette quite badly, more so than most 85mm lenses I have tried. Also,the manual range finder system on the D5/D500/D850 is much more reliable on older Nikon cameras such as the D800/D810. At f/1.4 it is exceptionally hard to get focus, as there is too much leeway, even when the range finder system is saying the camera is correctly focused. I have the 1.2x eyepiece on my D800 but it just doesn't give enough accuracy, so generally I will try to use the rear screen to focus the Milvus. It is also worth mentioning the weight of the Milvus, which is the heaviest 85mm for Nikon on the market being heavier then the 85mm Sigma and Otus. I bought the 105mm f/1.4E because I needed something with autofocus and I was surprised just how good the 105 worked. Optically I would give a very slight edge generally to the Milvus but it is much closer than I thought it would be. The only thing problems I have with the 105mm, is the plastic feels a little cheap (like most modern Nikons), it also doesn't have a silent wave motor (though the motor is quiet) and at 105mm, it isn't always practical for smaller locations. Over all, I love both lenses and wouldn't trade either one. The Sigma is good but just feels huge, even though it is lighter than the Milvus. Also the Sigma isn't weather sealed which is a big thing for me but I know a few people who have bought the lens, who are very happy with it.

Nice kitchen. When will we see som food pictures and videos? General cooking skills?

Could you do a comparison of the fujifilm 56mm vs the full frame 85mms?

I am a hobbyist. There is no way I am going to pay into the thousands. I always look into the older generation lenses and the nikon 85mm 1.4d is mind blowing on its on. I also tried the budget rokinon and samyang and are outstanding. They give a warm tone to the pictures. The only downfall is they are manual lenses. Too much time wasted trying to focus.

Hi please I wanna know details on the gears you use to shoot this episode.....the footage look pretty plz, plz, plz

Would have liked to see the Zeiss 135 in this test, although it is a lot longer than the others of course. Best portrait lens I’ve used though

Which camera is best for beginner Nikon d5300 or Nikon d3400...?

What camera and lens are you guys using for this video

This video was super polished! Sheesh!

Thanks for this one

What Nikon camera were you using for this?

I wonder if they used all those lenses out of the box or did focus tuning. (Dock station with sigma, and in body tuning for the rest) I do have the sigma art 85mm and it started producing very good results only after the dock tuning was done.

The rokinon 85 1.4 is a quality lens for the money... it’s miles cheaper than these ridiculously priced lenses and does a great job. I use it with a d800 and love the results. Any issues with a little chromatic abboration are easily fixed in post. Though the flaring is apparent when shooting to light, but please don’t me mean about it

@noelo2k9

I totally agree with you. All these other lenses are 4 to 6 times more expensive than the Rokinon and they better be damn sharper at that price. 4 to 6 times better quality, that will be hard to quantify. The Rokinon performs very well for a budget lens and are a great value for the money. I use a 16mm f/3.5 in my D7100 and 7.5mm f/3.5 and 12mm f/2 in my E-M5 Mk II. All perform very well and any small flaws are easily fixable. $1800 will buy me some excellent used glass for both of my cameras.That said, if had the money to throw away I guess I will get them.
