85mm F1.8 AF Full Frame Aperture Lens

I grew up taking pictures with single setting 35MM lenses. I had a 50mm, 28mm, 85mm, 105mm and a 135mm for my film cameras. I got a "kit" when I bought my Nikon D3400, now a D5500. The kit has a 28 to 70 and a 70 to 300 lens. I love the flexibility of these zooms, but I felt like I was missing something when I realized that they made prime lenses. We had a trip coming up, and I decided that I needed an 80 or 85MM. This lens is stunning. It is fast, with a f/1.8 aperture. This fast aperture means that the lens opens wider, lets more light in, and shortens the focusing distance. It is a wonderful lens for taking portraits of people when there are busy backgrounds because it blurs the background, exceptionally well. I'm sorry for the wall of text, but if you really want to learn photography, or if you know photography, and can't afford those $300 to $1000 prime lenses, this is your answer. it's an excellent lens, all of the factors are thought of, and the budget user is kept in mind. LOVE this lens.
