The 85/1.8 is an outstanding lens. I might get one but for now, an 80-200/2.8 meets most of my needs. And I have a 50/1.8 so if I need 85mm and f/1.8, I use the 50mm, and walk backwards! 
Don't sweat it if you can't drop the cash on an f/1.4. I think you can get a 50/1.8 for around $125. A 1.4 costs a lot more, but often is worth it. |

Hope that helps  |
thanks for the input! i did find the 85mm f1.4 from nikon is available as well, but quite pricey. i am goging to keep with my 18-105mm f/3.5 vr for now and perhaps get the 85mm after i sort out my shooting style.
still getting DOF sorted out for HD video as well, it's a whole nother level! LOLOLL
