Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens – Product Description

The Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens is a premium portrait and telephoto prime lens engineered for photographers who demand exceptional image quality, stunning subject separation, and outstanding low-light performance. As part of Nikon’s renowned Gold Ring series, this lens delivers industry-leading optical performance and is widely regarded as one of the finest portrait lenses ever created.

Designed for FX-format (full-frame) DSLR cameras, the 105mm focal length provides an ideal working distance for portraits, weddings, fashion, fine art photography, and detail shots. With its ultra-fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, the lens produces exceptionally shallow depth of field and beautifully smooth bokeh, creating images with striking depth and emotional impact.

Inside the lens is a sophisticated optical design featuring Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements that help control chromatic aberration and deliver high-resolution images with superior clarity, contrast, and color accuracy. Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring consistent performance in backlit or high-contrast scenes.

The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures fast, accurate, and whisper-quiet autofocus, making it reliable for both still photography and video work. The Electromagnetic Diaphragm (E-type) provides precise exposure control during high-speed continuous shooting, maintaining consistent brightness across frames.

Built with a robust, weather-sealed construction, the AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED is designed for professional use in a wide range of environments. Its smooth manual focus ring and high-quality build reflect Nikon’s dedication to craftsmanship and durability.
