The Nikkor AF-S DX Micro 85mm f3.5G ED VR is a medium-telephoto 85mm Micro lens (picture angle is equivalent to a focal length of 127.5mm in FX/35mm format) with a 1:1 magnification ratio at the closest focusing distance of 28.6 cm. The optical system featureing an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element is optimized for DX-format digital SLRs. Vibration Reduction (VR II) enables sharper pictures while shooting at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than would otherwise be possible.
This new Micro Nikkor lens also utilizes the Nikon SWM (Silent Wave Motor) to ensure fast, quiet AF operation, as well as IF (Internal Focusing) technology which allows focusing without changing the length of the lens barrel. A nine-blade rounded diaphragm opening gives out-of-focus elements a more natural appearance.
