Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens

The Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED is a super-fast, full-frame, prime telephoto lens. The fixed focal length of 105mm, superfast f/1.4 maximum aperture, and rounded 9-blade diaphragm makes this lens a massive contender for the king of bokeh title.

The Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED is targeted towards portrait and product photography, and will give your photos a unique character with sharp subjects, heavy background compression, and milky smooth bokeh.

f/1.4 maximum aperture, 105 mm focal length, 9-blade diaphragm

The 105 mm focal length combines with a minimum focus distance of 1 m to enable frame-filling head-shots without the need to crop. Additionally the telephoto focal length also heavily compresses background, while the fast wide-open maximum aperture decreases depth of field, and the 9-blade diaphragm produces stunning bokeh.
All of these lens characteristics will make your images unique and powerful.

Great in low light

The fast maximum aperture also provides excellent low light performance. At f/1.4 the lens is at least 3-stops faster than a conventional zoom lens.

Great performance wide-open

The AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED enables exceptional aesthetic control. Subjects are rendered with perfect clarity even when shooting at the widest aperture of f/1.4. Sagittal coma flare is effectively minimised for superior reproduction of point light sources as fine rounded points, even at the edges of an image. Peripheral light falloff is controlled to retain brightness across the frame, and subjects located at the edge of the frame are sharp and well resolved, even when shooting at maximum aperture with focus set to infinity.

Legendary optical quality

Nine rounded aperture blades decrease diffraction, delivering faithful reproduction of a scene’s elements. AE control is rendered exceptionally stable—even during a high-speed burst—thanks to the incorporation of an electromagnetic aperture control mechanism in the lens barrel. Nano Crystal Coat effectively reduces ghost and flare, and autofocus is smooth, quiet, and swift as a result of Nikon’s SWM (Silent Wave Motor). Three extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass elements minimise axial chromatic aberration. The front and rear lens elements are protected and made easier to clean by Nikon’s fluorine coat, which effectively repels dust, dirt, water, and grease.
