[QUOTE="Brian, post: 255908, member: 17621"] Just to add- the D lens uses the AF motor of the camera body: focus speed will depend on which body it is used on. I'm surprised how high the used 85/1.8 D series lenses are selling for considering the reasonable price of the new lens. [URL="http://www.keh.com/Camera/format-35mm/system-Nikon-Autofocus/category-Fixed-Focal-Length-Lenses?s=1&bcode=NA&ccode=6&cc=3173&r=WG&f"]Nikon Autofocus Fixed Focal Length Lenses - KEH.com[/URL] should remember- check KEH for realistic prices... About $250 for the 85/1.8 D, "$175 or so" cheaper than the new model. And they have several 85/1.4 D's in. I have 4 Nikkor 85/2's. S-Mount, Contax Mount, Leica mount and F-Mount. Id' go for the 85/1.4 D. [/QUOTE]
