Nikon 85mm f/1.8G AF-S FX Nikkor Lens - (Renewed)

I have never ordered used or refurbished camera lens but I thought I'd give it a try as I was saving about 10% off a new one. This lens came with front and back lens caps and lens bag, it had no signs of wears or marks on the outside and hit focus on my test shots (Lens seems to work just fine but only time will tell). What I didn't get was the original box or paperwork however it comes with a 90 warranty. So if you are okay with just 90 day warranty and no original box you'll save about 10% getting a "renewed" lens.As for the Nikon 85mm f1.8 Prime Lens, it's great. The bokeh is very good even at higher F-stops so this lens will be an outstanding portrait lens. This is a great lens option if you can't afford the $1400 on the f 1.4 model.

Save the money you would spent on a needles 1.4, and buy this instead. This is perfect and is 98% the lens you would get if you bought an expensive 1.4This lens is perfect and at a far more affordable price

Box looked brand new so did the package! Great quiet perfect portrait lens!

Works Great. Well worth the money.

I’ve never bought a refurbished lens before, but took a chance that it would perform well, and it does! Saved money and got a great product! I don’t do many portraits, but when I do, I wanted the 85mm gold standard lens for this kind of work. The lens is sharp as a tack, and works for me! I know there’s a f1.4, more expensive version available, and I’m sure it’s worth the expense if portraits are your main focus, but I’m happy with this one. I’d recommend Beach Camera to my friends for future purchases.

I just got this lens delivered and decided to try it out. The images attached were taken with it ... hand held on a Nikon D500. I have a number of lens ... but this one is great for doing creative photography from a photography enthusist perspective. It's also very reasonally priced for a 85mm 1.8 lens with this level of image quality and clarity.

This lense worked perfectly. Never would have known it was refurbished. Such a clean, crisp photo. But be warned. I am a beginner and didn't realize i would have to stand 8 feet away to get a head phot. My mistake. My fault. Just letting the other beginners know. It's an amazing lense.

Works like a breeze on my Nikon D7000. Love this lens. Excellent quality. Excellent sharp images. The aperture is incredible!!!!!!
