Best camera for the nikon af s 85mm f 1 8g?

For the 85mm f/1.8G, I'd put it on a full-frame body so you get the view it's named for. On full frame it's the classic portrait lens: flattering perspective, soft backgrounds, and a comfortable distance from your subject. The portraits guide explains why.

From the bodies it fits, I'd start with:

• Nikon D750: my pick for most people. It's full frame and a sensible all-rounder.
• Nikon D610: full frame with the same 85mm view, if you want to keep the kit simpler.
• Nikon D500: an APS-C option. The 85mm then frames like about 128mm, which suits tight headshots.

The lens itself is on its catalogue page, with the full list of compatible cameras.
