Just a quick update. I tested my second copy of the 85 Art today and it still doesn't focus accurately. A +20 adjustment gets it kinda close, but still not accurate on either of my camera bodies. It's sad because I really wanted this lens. But since I've had two copies, both with the same defect, I'm going to give up on the 85 Art for now. Maybe I'll give it another try in a year or so when they work out they work out the kinks in the manufacturing process.

For those of you with good copies. Don't ever
...Show more

May not be a bad thing with a possible EF 85 1.4 on the horizon. And who knows? If they don't do that but refresh the EF 85 1.8 it may be killer for the price.

There's a reason Nikon lenses are made in China. Cheaper quality, build, and materials.


It's not something that's been snuck into the manufacturing process on the spot... it's a conscious design decision, made at least 3 times in a row if the information about the 24 and 85 is to be believed. Maybe some other Nikon lenses are also equipped with the same kind of inferior micro-USM. 35G? 58G? Who knows.

.......thanks for sharing the links.

They look excellent.Having said that,it seems they were taken under controlled/ captive environment ( as evident from the reflection of the cages they are in, in their eyes).
This lens is looking promising indeed & I am definitely looking forward to some actual field reviews.

EDIT: Just found these images,seems like they were taken under normal shooting conditions:
