Q: 1. How this lens compare to the 85 1.8 ?. Difficult to compare between f/1.4 and F/1.8, any direct experience ?

A: Before getting into quality differences between the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens and the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G Lens, a very significant different is the focal length. The perspective from a 105mm lens is different than that from a 85mm lens. This is very much dependent on personal preference and specific application. Aside from this, there are a few benefits to the 105mm. A Nano Crystal Coat has been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting. Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates, though double check that your camera is compatible with lenses that have this. The 105mm has a better build quality overall. The f1.4 aperture with the longer focal length will provide a shallower depth of field than is possible on the 85mm lens. Overall the 105mm f/1.4E is optically better than the 85mm f/1.8G lens.

Q: 2. I have read the specs on this and it is not clear what cameras are not compatible with the electromagnetic component. Is a D780 compatible to this lens?

A: Yes, the Nikon D780 is compatible with the E-type lenses.

Q: 3. Can you recommend a lens case (such as Lowepro) for this lens?

A: The Lowepro Lens Case 11 x 14cm (Black), BH #LOLC1114, is a great option for the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens.

Q: 4. How does this lens compare to the Nikon AF DC-Nikkor 105 mm F/2D Lens?

A: At the same apertures, it performs just very slightly better than the DC, but almost the same. If images are produced by skilled shooters, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference in a blind test at the same apertures. Of course the new lens goes to f/1.4 where the depth of field effect is dramatic, which is the main selling point. The new lens has slightly more distortion but less flare and CA owing to better coatings. The new lens does not have a DC control ring to manipulate bokeh. The new lens does not have an aperture ring, unlike the DC-Nikkor, so it is practically worthless for classic Nikon SLRs. The new lens is light and plasticky feeling, unlike the older solid metal and glass crinkle-coated DC-Nikkor. The new lens has a AF-S in-lens motor, which will burn out after some years and will render it a manual focus lens when Nikon decides to stop making replacement motors, as they have already done for other top-of-the-line AF-S lenses...whereas the 105/2DC with screwdriver AF will still be working just fine a hundred years from now.

Q: 5. Is this lens weather-sealed?

A: Yes, it is, it has the rubber gasket around the mount. It is a great lens, extremely sharp and very versatile.

Q: 6. The specs for the Nikon 24 mm f/1.8G lens say the filter thread is 72 mm x 0.75 mm pitch. Most filter designations don't add a pitch. What does this mean? Will it take a normal 72 mm filter/step-up ring/step-down ring or is something additional required?

A: As far as I know, the filter is standard and have had no problems with any off the shelf filters. I also use the hood, with the filter, that came with the lens. I find the lens to be very sharp. It is slightly heavy but that is to be expected.As expected, I keep a UV filter on at all times, usually made by Hoya. I display my photos on a Sony 65 Inch Ultra High 4K TV screen. I use the 24mm Nikkor on the Nikon 5500 so it acts as if it were a 36mm on a full frame. Hope this helps.

Q: 7. Have a D700 FX Nikon is this compatible?mm

A: Fits my D750

Q: 8. Does the replace the Nikon 135mm?

A: The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens is a similar focal length to the Nikon 135mm lens; it doesn't replace it, it's just a different focal length.

Q: 9. Will this lens work on a D7000? I kept this camera and assume the lens is compatible resulting in a 36mm equivalent. Thanks.

A: Yes it will work very well, it is a Sharp fast wide lense no distortion to speak of.

Q: 10. would this lens or theNikon AF NIKKOR 20mm f/2.8D Lens be better for landscape timelapses? What is the difference? Or is there another lens that would be better suited for the task? Thank you! DM

A: I would recommend the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED Lens for todays cameras and time lapse use since it is fully electronic. The Nikon AF NIKKOR 20mm f/2.8D Lens is better for manual focus and aperture use situations.
