Nikon AF-S Nikko 85mm f/1.4G Lens Lens Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/2.8G ED Lens. Lens is in excellent condition both mechanically and visually. Very well looked after. A true photographer’s workhorse that is very sought after if you are looking to add to your lens arsenal. This prime lens is superb, super sharp, beautiful bokeh. Comes with all that you see in the photos. The 24-70mm and 85mm have been the go to lens for my D800. Included in the sale price is the B+W 77mm 010 UV Haze 1x MRC clear protector filter (F-PRO) worth $221 rrp that I installed on the lens when purchased. Thanks for
This is a fair ask rather than a bargain: A$1,250 for an excellent copy sits above the typical used level I’d expect for this lens, so I’d want it to be especially clean and complete to feel truly compelling. On the used market, a comparable Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4G commonly lands around the mid-A$1,000s or a bit below depending on condition, so this is priced on the firm side, not outrageously, but not a standout deal either.
What keeps it attractive is the lens itself: Nikon’s 85mm f/1.4G is a classic portrait optic with very strong subject separation, smooth rendering, and the kind of shallow-depth-of-field look people buy it for. If the listing includes the hood, caps, and original box, and the optics/autofocus are genuinely spotless, it remains a solid buy for someone who wants top-tier portrait quality and is happy paying for a clean example.

Nikko Audio emerged from Nikko Electric Industry Co., founded in 1933 in Kanagawa, Japan, initially as a manufacturer of fuses and electrical equipment for the national railroad. Post-World War II, the company expanded into communications technology, entering the hi-fi market in the late 1960s through the influence of an audiophile family member with exceptional hearing. This Japanese heritage fueled a brief but notable run of precision-engineered audio components before the brand shuttered its audio division amid the 1990s market downturn.
The brand focused primarily on amplifiers, producing standout series like the Alpha line of power amps from the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the high-end TRM series, including the 1975 TRM-800 integrated stereo amplifier with its robust 65 watts per channel output, NEC power transistors, and stability down to 4 ohms. Tuners such as the FAM-600 and compact hi-fi gear rounded out their compact-form-factor offerings, emphasizing clean circuit design and no-frills power over expansive categories like speakers, turntables, or modern digital components.
Today, Nikko holds a cherished position among vintage collectors, prized for its build quality and dynamic sound that rivals contemporaries from more prominent Japanese marques. Though limited in distribution during its era, these components endure as attainable high-fidelity treasures, evoking the golden age of Japanese amplification engineering.
