A bit off-topic, but can anyone tell me something (good or bad) about the D version?
I might be able to get one within my very-limited-stay-at-home-dad budget...

I had the D and it's a very nice lens. The G is a bit sharper, the D focuses faster. I bought the G when there was a $100 rebate and I sold the D for $350. If you can get a good deal, go for it.

I've posted this elsewhere before, but one of my favs taken with the 85 1.8G when I had it.

Since switching to Nikon, the 85mm f/1.8 G is easily my favorite lens for portraits and wedding work!

Here is an ocean pijun with my best birding lens (until the 200-500 f/5.6 is delivered, that is)

The 85 is my favorite focal length, if there was a camera with a fixed 85/1.8 lens I'd jump onto it!!!

The Nikon 85 is a great bargain, not flawless but for the money you can't buy anything better.

Picked up a pristine used copy for $300. It's pretty hard to argue with that...

I have owned this lens since it was first sold. I will agree that its the best bang for the buck. I am not in love with the rendering. I prefer the nikon 85 1.4g and the sigma 85 1.4 art. But ... this lens is lighter, cheaper and has the most reliable af. That is why it stays in my bag for weddings.

Not all that pleased with the rendering in artificial light but in natural light it seems fine and sharp. $300 is a steal at today's lens pricing.

I like it ... maybe even a lot ... just don't love it. But for my needs, it fits the best.
