I love Defocus Control for the super creamy bokeh. Not everyone will. It takes presence of mind to control the shots. That is a benefit as it helps me keep my mind in focus too. (ha ha) The foreground sharpening is more subtle and harder to master. IMO well worth it and educational. Improves your DOF awareness. You can set the Defocus Control to zero and just use it as a sweet 135mm f/2D. Check the sharpness eval on DXO mark. ** make sure to get the f/2D and not the previous f/2 version which lacks matrix metering control.

We all know this is a solid, old school lens. It matches in style, the old school look that the Nikon Df camera is trying to achieve. The latest lenses just don't look like belong on the front end of a Df. The Nikon 135mm DC lens is a perfect addition to this camera, or any Nikon FX camera.

I bought this lens after reading a review by Ken Rockwell. It is everything he said it was and more! This lens is fast and very sharp and the defocusing feature for improved bokeh helps produce breathtaking portraits. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite lenses! I could not tell the lens I bough from a brand new one. It is built like a tank.....a really great eBay deal.

As good as reviewed. Super sharp, yet incredible soft backgrounds when used properly. It was used over the weekend on a large budget film style music video production. Shot in 4K on my Z6 with complementary Zeiss lenses. Quality was on par with lenses valued much higher than the Nikon. Can't wait to use it on a portrait / fashion shoot.
