I also love my 85 1.8. I'm on a crop body (D300), so sometimes it's too close for my portrait work. But it's a great lens, and I often pull it out at receptions/ceremonies.

Have the 85 1.8 on the D300. It is a very sharp lens and one of my favorites. Also have the 105 2.8 macro which may be even sharper but the length on a crop body can be tough some times.

The 85/1.8 is absolutely amazing. In fact, I've found it to be sharper than the Canon 85L I used to use. The AF is very good even though it's an older AF type. This lens comes highly recommended. If you have the space, the compression comes in handy for portrait work.

85mm is one of the nicest focal lengths for portraits. I love mine, although I usually stick with 2.8 zooms for most weddings, it does get some use. It is my go-to lens for portrait sessions though.
