The Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD prime lens is a fast short telephoto in the classic focal length for portraits. It is also a focal length that usually offers the very best of the lens makers' art, so the standard expected is very high. It is a 35mm-format “full frame” lens.

A slightly slower maximum aperture of f/1.8 (many 85mm lenses are f/1.4 designs) does seem to have its advantages in terms of a more compact, lighter lens and also a lower cost. Performance is impeccable, the lens handles superbly and the price well within reason.

    Beautiful, high-quality images, Fast and silent AF, Effective VC system, Very well controlled CA, Excellent flare resistance, 5-year warranty, Low distortion, Beautiful bokeh

I rented this lens for a shoot to try it out. I have looked at a few other primes and wanted to see how this one compared. I was not disappointed at all. Very sharp and not much CA when shot wide open at 1.8.

All I can say is if you are in the market for an upper end 85mm, look no further. Tamron has hit a homerun with this lens. It is incredibly sharp, has creamy bokeh, built like a tank and is worth every penny I spent.

Razor sharp and the VC allows me to take shots that would have been difficult without a tripod.... This lens is solid and well built, not at all plastic feeling like many other lenses.

On my D7200, the autofocus is outstanding, bokeh is terrific, "VC" (Tamron's version of Nikon's VR) works well (consistently sharp down to 1/50). The lens is big and heavy compared to the Nikon 85 1.8g, but those are actually benefits, IMO.

What is this strange magic? look at the uploaded pictures, this thing has bokeh like no other lens, it cuts with detail like a katana through a soft cantelope!!! But that sharpness works against it too. Instead of giving you a nice skin tone, it shows all the imperfections, even from 5 meters away.
