Nikon's legendary 85mm f/1.4D — the classic portrait prime with renowned bokeh and rendering.

The Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D IF was released in 1995 as the professional portrait prime for Nikon F-mount, succeeding the 1988 non-D version. Nine elements in 8 groups. Nine aperture blades (straight — produces slightly angular specular highlights). 77mm filter thread. At 550g. 0.85m MFD. D-type screw-drive AF (no in-lens motor). Distinct from the AF-S 85mm f/1.4G (2010).

The optical design uses 9 elements in 8 groups. Nine aperture blades (straight-edged — produces slightly angular, not circular, specular highlights at mid-apertures). The 77mm filter thread. At 550g the lens is moderate. Minimum focus distance of 0.85m. D-type CPU chip (distance information for 3D Matrix/iTTL). Screw-drive AF — no in-lens motor. f/1.4 maximum aperture. Full-frame coverage.

The D-type 85mm f/1.4 is distinguished from the later AF-S 85mm f/1.4G (2010) primarily by the AF system: screw-drive versus SWM in-lens motor. The D-type requires a camera body with a built-in AF motor for autofocus; bodies without (e.g. Df, D3x00, D5x00) will use the lens manually. The G designation on the later version also removes the aperture ring present on the D-type.

On the used market the Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D IF is affordable as a vintage professional Nikon portrait prime. Condition checks: screw-drive AF coupling, 77mm front element for marks, aperture blade condition. Requires camera body AF motor for autofocus. Compatible with all Nikon F-mount FX and DX bodies (AF on bodies with built-in motor only).
