Answer:

BH Photo staff said that they already received a few of this lense and they'll ship by order date. If u just pre-ordered it for a month, u probably wait few more weeks. Someone even ordered in Jan, so they should get it first.

Answer:

The 40mm f2.8 mentioned here is a macro lens. When focus distance closes macro lenses will always close aperture automatically by some margin. This will happen regardless PASM mode of shooting used and whenever AF or MF is employed. It is simply a nature of macro lenses.
As Nikkor 85mm f/1.8G is not a macro lens, you can expect true f/1.8 aperture at all focusing distances.

Answer:

If the camera set in Aperture priority (A) the aperture won't change unless you changed in the shooting mode. If the camera is set to Auto, Program or Shutter priority the aperture will change.

How does the image quality of this 85 F1.8 compare to the IQ of the VR 70-200 @ 85mm?

Was this helpful?helpful0unhelpful1

The 28 F1.8, the 50 F1.8 and the 85 F1.8 are all touted as superb primes. Is their IQ so good that the 16-35 F4, the 24-120 F4 and the Vr 70 200 are no longer needed? I know zooms are never as sharp as primes but how big is that difference? Is it better to have these three primes on a D800 and skip the 16-35 and the 24-120?

Answer:

Your question depends on what your needs are.
The primes lenses r second to none.
Do you need the versatility of a zoom ???
The zooms you mention that are f/4, would easily be replaced in image quality.
I own the 70-200 and i could not live without this lens, the 85mm for me would be a prime addition but i could not get by without the zoom versatility.
I shoot just about everything you can imagine, I use a 17-35mm f/2.8, 105mm f/2.8 and the 70-200mm f/2.8,
I find myself using the 105mm mostly for macro or very known shooting situations, where i know the distance will not change much.
Hope this helps,
Wish we could own them all...:)

Answer:

Horses for courses, different lenses for different shots so you cant really compare and say that one is any better then the others, all boils down to what shorts of images you want to create.
