This lens will add a more beautiful blur in the background while capturing the subject with clear dynamism. It is optimal for shooting portraits as well as a variety of other situations such as close up or capturing images in a dimly lit environment. With the maximum aperture of f/1.8, this fast lens allows you to create a beautiful blur in the background. You can also shoot pictures without increasing the ISO sensitivity in a dim environment with least image noise. When used in combination with Nikon 1's fast shutter speed at 1/4000 to 1/16000 of a second, 1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8 can deliver beautiful photos without blurring the subject in lowly lit situations or overexposing in daylight. Even if you had a high-pixel camera, you cannot take a beautiful photo or movie without the resolving power of the lens. 1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8's aspheric lens, together with the accumulated optical technologies of the NIKKOR lenses, makes it possible to capture even the peripheral parts of the picture in high resolution.
