Is the nikon af s 85mm f 1 4g worth buying used?
Yes, I'd say it's a good candidate for buying used. The Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4G is a classic portrait lens: f/1.4 for soft backgrounds, and it's made for full frame. It fits Nikon F bodies, including the APS-C ones, where it frames like about 128mm.
Good lenses also hold their value far better than bodies, so a used copy is a low-risk buy. I can't quote current prices, so check them against what you'd pay new. For more on this, see buying used, and if you're unsure about the focal length, the lenses guide explains how to choose.
