Is the nikon af s dx micro 85mm f 3 5g ed vr good for video?

Honestly, it's a niche pick for video. On an APS-C Nikon the 85mm frames like about 128mm on full frame, so the view is tight. That suits interviews, close-ups, or filming someone across a room, but it's far too narrow for vlogging at arm's length. For that, I'd want a wide lens, as covered in Video.

The good news is that it's stabilised and autofocuses, which helps when you shoot handheld. On a body like the Nikon D7500 or Nikon D5600, it makes a sensible setup for talking-head or portrait-style clips. Whichever lens you choose, sort out sound first. The audio section explains what to budget for.
