Congrats with your new lens. The 85 1.8G is my favorite AF-S prime. Very detailed pics, excellent informal portrait lens (family events among others), very reasonable price.

Here an updated list of best prime lenses for the D810 per dxomark: http://www.dxomark.com/Reviews/Best-lenses-for-the-Nikon-D810-Exceptionally-high-sharpness-and-detail-but-no-advance-over-D800E/Best-Primes-on-the-D810

I think where this lens rates on this list, and the company it keeps as far as the lenses that make up the top 6 (and their prices), pretty much tells the tale of how good this lens is.

Got it. Really like it. Start with the cons, it is slow to focus. It does have CA. It required a -15 AF fine tune to get it dialed it. Pros, ridiculously sharp. OOF area is beautiful.

Oblig cat pic. 100% crop on a D300s @ F1.8. It was before AF fine tune.
