What is the nikon af s 105mm f 1 4e ed good for?

The Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED is a fast telephoto prime for full-frame Nikon F cameras. On full frame it frames as a true 105mm, and its f/1.4 aperture gives very shallow depth of field and good low-light performance, which suits portraits and subjects you want to isolate from a busy background.

On an APS-C body it frames like about 158mm, so it becomes a longer telephoto there. If you have a full-frame body, the Nikon D750 or Nikon D810 are good partners. On an APS-C body, the Nikon D7500 works with it, though you'll be shooting at a much tighter angle. For a broader sense of which focal lengths suit which subjects, see the portraits guide and the lenses page.
