Abstract: The Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED is designed and engineered with bokeh in mind. In the context of portraiture, you can have sharpness for a single eye and even the eyelashes will be blurred. You're best off shooting with a tripod, for the sake of focusing a...

If you're in the market for a high-speed short telephoto, you will have likely considered the AF-S Nikkor 85mm F1.4G, but you may unsure about that model's slightly higher-than-expected chromatic aberration. The 105mm F1.4 makes an interesting alternative...

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED is one of the sharpest lenses we've tested, and sure to be the darling of portrait photographers and bokeh fiends...

Testing the Nikkor AF-S 105 mm f/1.4E ED was a real pleasure. It combines interesting parameters, exceedingly sharp optics hidden in a casing of good quality and accurate autofocus. I admit that for me personally the Nikkor was a huge joy to use. If you d...
