The Nikon's traditional 105mm lens featuring fast f/1.4 maximum aperture that provides a large and beautiful bokeh effect with smooth alteration from the focus plane, ensuring natural depth of subjects, via the embodiment of NIKKOR's unique design concept of "three-dimensional high fidelity", is now realized while also incorporating an AF system, making it "the one-and-only prime lens". Artistic image expression is achieved with a large bokeh effect via a shallow depth of field created by the 105mm f/1.4 optical system, moderate telephoto compression effect, impressive scene capture utilizing an appropriate angle of view to emphasize the subject, and a fast f/1.4 aperture that reliably supports comfortable composition with the bright finder image and allows the use of comparatively faster shutter speeds enabling handheld shooting even for low-light scenes.
