The best lenses at 85mm, 105mm focal lengths are shown below for the Nikon D610. The best performing prime is sure the latest Zeiss Otus 1.4/85 in the world with a higher price tag.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G, the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G are the best choices. Sigma 85mm F1.4 EX DG HSM lens is also a good choice as this lens is half the price of Nikon’s equivalent and performs closer to the 85mm f/1.4. Samyang 85mm f/1.4 Aspherical IF is another good one if you prefer cheaper lens. It lacks of autofocus ability but if you manual control the lens then you will have such a low priced lens.

Nikon D610 Lenses – Standart Zoom

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED is the best choice for a standard zoom lens in Nikon’s FX lineup. The lens is sharp across its zoom range, focuses quickly and accurately, and has a sturdy build but it is a very expensive lens. The newly released Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 DI VC USD lens performs better than AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm has great performance too and it is cheaper.

70-200mm Telephoto Zoom

The best performing 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens on Nikon D610 is the Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD lens. Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 is much cheaper than AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G and provides great image quality.

Ultra-Wide Angle Lenses

The Carl Zeiss Distagon 15mm f/2.8 lens is the best ultra-wide angle lens for Nikon D610. This lens provides highest sharpness levels with the best image quality. We have to underline that this lens doesn’t offer any AF and it is a manual lens. If you are looking for a cheaper solution then the Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX DG ASP will be a good choice.

Wide-angle Prime Lenses

According to DxOMark and web reviews, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM A lens is the best for wide-angle prime.

Wide-angle Zoom Lenses

Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens is the king of Nikon’s wide-angle zoom for full frame cameras and a lens you’ll see in the bag of many professional photographers.

For a cheaper lens recommendation new released AF-S NIKKOR 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED , Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 PRO FX Nikon and Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR lenses are sharp enough to use with D610.

For value your money Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 PRO FX Nikon will be the best choice for Nikon D610. As this lens is $500 cheap to the Nikon’s 16-35mm and performs 2 points better. Nikon 16-35mm has a vibration reduction system included, but for wide-angle photography this is usually less useful.

Macro Lenses

AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G will be the best choice as a macro lens for Nikon D610. This lens has a better price with outdoor macro length and performs great on D610. Zeiss Makro-Planar T 100mm f/2 ZF2 is also a best performer but it is an expensive lens.
