AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED overview

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED is a 105mm f/1.4 prime for full-frame cameras on Nikon F, announced by Nikon in July 2016. 18 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits and low light. It is a weaker pick for close-ups.

New, it sells for $1,896.95 to $2,096.96 at the 3 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $866. It launched at $2,199.95.

Worth comparing it with the Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art, Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art and Sigma 135mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art.
