Which Nikon 85mm f/1.8 lens did you get? I have the AF-S 85mm f1.8G and it's a great lens. Light, sharp, well mannered and consistent. If it had rounded aperture blades it would be perfect. As it is, it's bokeh can be a bit busy. It's usable wide open but really shines from about f/4 through f/8. When I buy a Nikon lens I always order a Nikon brand clear filter with it. And, I've had pretty good luck with Nikon polarizers too, but then I don't tend to use them very much. I'm sure there are some other brands that may be better.

This old thread might give some ideas, even if I use the earlier screw-drive version.
Here is a link to a gallery shot with the AF 85/1.8D.
