In a moment of weakness I shipped my 85 1.4D off to KEH because I felt it wasn't getting enough use. I regretted it immediately. When they, as expected, undervalued the trade-in amount, I requested they send it right back. When the package came I couldn't wait to get it out of the box and back into my bag where it belonged. I felt like I had betrayed an old friend.
I don't do weddings and portraits anymore but every once in a while a previous client will ask me to come out.
So glad you got it back! Its pure magic this lens.

I said a while back I would eventually own this lens! Finally was able to make it happen. Have only had it for a day but so far I'm loving it.
Curious to know how many D850 owners continue to use the Cream-Machine?
Confess that I do, and also on the Z7, with which focus-peaking works well but sometimes I do need the AF
The new Z-Nikkor 85 f1.8S is attracting attention, well deserved but I argue this older AFD F-Nikkor is not obsolete
