I purchased a mint condition boxed with paperwork Nikkor 85mm f1.8 AF-D lens from Grays of Westminster last week, not only did it come with a 12month warranty but I also got a 10% discount and next day delivery - outstanding service from a premier Nikon dealership.
I wanted this lens rather than the "G" version to use on my DF and have an aperture ring - it now forms part of my 3 primes for the DF (24 / 50 / 85) and I am delighted.
The lens focus is very fast even though a little noisier than the newer lenses but it is not an issue and the results it delivers are great.
These are my first images with the DF & 85.
