I was going to work on replacing my very much missed Nikkor af-d 20mm lens! But with winter coming on, a good portrait lens seems like a better choice to me! So I'm looking to find and work out a deal for a Nikkor af-d 85mm lens to fit that nitch between my 50mm and my 105mm! :D

If your willing to work with me, I'm interested in the f1.8 version or the preferred f1.4 version! :)

I'm trying to decide which version of af-d 85mm lens to get, the f1.8 or the f1.4! I admit I really want the f1.4 version, but the cost may make it undoable this next month. The f1.8 version is doable, and I have also been considering the af-d 50mm f1.4 if I wait to do the af-d 85mm f1.4!

@Bill16 the local craigslist guy here is motivated and is dropping the price here....looks pretty legit. Not a huge market around here for high end stuff like an Nikkor 85 f 1.4D!

Maybe you should reach out and see if the guy is open to trades he states in the add he is still shooting Nikon.

Don't settle for the 1.8 you will lust later for the 1.4 which is what you really want and GAS will go on.....

IMHO of course my friend!

I'm going to try for a f1.4 85mm version if I can get it for near $700.00 on eBay! Your right my friend about my wanting that version pretty badly too! Lol :)
I have to wait till the 3rd of next month, and then I will see what I can do! :)

Personally I would go for the 1.8. While getting a 1.4 would be nice you can save yourself a few $$$ and get a silky smooth bnib 1.8G. Just saying...
