Verdict
Pick the Irix Dragonfly 150mm f/2.8 if you need the longer reach and slightly brighter maximum aperture for distant subjects or controlled background separation. Choose the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G if you prioritize a wider aperture for low-light performance, shallower depth of field, and a more compact focal length for portraits or general use. The Nikon remains the better choice if budget is a concern, as it offers similar used value with a faster aperture.
