Fast-Aperture Short Tele. The Nikon 105mm f/1.4E ED AF-S is a true first of its kind. Combining a 105mm (157.5 crop equivalent) focal length with a f/1.4 aperture, it provides stellar low-light performance with an incredibly shallow depth of field. To top it all off, a nine-blade aperture makes sure all of those out-of-focus bits are smooth, making this lens a great choice for portrait work.

High-Quality Optics. The 105mm f/1.4’s optical formula is comprised of fourteen elements in nine groups. Its three extra-low dispersion elements ensure high clarity and color reproduction while keeping aberrations in check. The Nano Crystal Coating reduces flares and ghosting.

Smooth Autofocus. The Silent Wave Motor autofocus system is fast, accurate, and nearly silent, making this lens great for shooting subjects in motion. You can also go with a fully manual override for quick switch between autofocus and manual focusing by just rotating the focus ring.
