The Nikon 85mm f3.5 G DX is a Medium-telephoto Micro lens with VR that enhances the enjoyment of macro photography.

Equipped with Nikon’s second generation Vibration Reduction system, the Nikon 85mm dx micro delivers steady images to both the sensor and viewfinder, enabling more flexible hand-held shooting. The 1:1 reproduction ratio enables life-size close-ups of extremely fine textures and details.

Easy to handle, this is the perfect lens with which to explore the world of close-up photography.
