Optimised for DX-format cameras, the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/3.5G ED VR delivers exceptional images. Every detail is reproduced in true-to-life brilliance thanks to a host of Nikon lens technologies. Silent Wave Motor (SWM) provides ultra-fast, ultra-quiet internal autofocusing from infinity to life size (1:1 reproduction ratio). SWM also allows for seamless manual focus override—key when shooting live subjects like insects or flowers. Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements provide superior sharpness and colour reproduction. A Super Integrated Coating (SIC) virtually eliminates ghosting and lens flare.

Nikon’s VR (Vibration Reduction) system that is built into the lens effectively corrects blur in the viewfinder image as well as in the captured image. You won’t miss photo opportunities when you utilize this system that ensures reliable shooting with a clear and stable viewfinder image.
