Nikon AF-S 105mm F1.4E ED is an incredibly bright portrait lens designed for FX-format F-mount DSLRs. The f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also affords extensive control over focus for shallow depth of field imagery.

The fast prime optic is also characterized by a Silent Wave Motor that produces fast, smooth, and quiet autofocus capabilities. Full-time manual focus override allows instant switching between AF and MF focusing systems.
