there are some people saying that this lens didn't meet their expectations, citing flat images, dull colours, etc. :o :o :o
i wonder what made them say that...


This is clearly a sample variation in ..... people

A variation in subjects (& processing) too, I assume. However, with a very capable lens like the AFS 105E at hand, few if any  subjects are intimidating to take on. Branding this lens as "portrait" only is not wise as it can do almost any kind of scenes and subjects.

A snapshot to show the kind of vivid colour rendition the 105E is delivering.

The AFS 105 E is also a surprisingly versatile 'walk-around' lens. Very suited for snapshot-like pictures such as this; its subject isolation is quite powerful.

 I just posted serial number for this lens from reading Ken Rockwell's review. The shame of it ...  :-[

Oh dear.

Obviously the first batch got to Europe, as our serial numbers are much lower than the one listed on your site. (#200335 for my sample)

D500, run straight through Photo Ninja.

Have no luck with Photoninja 1.25 on the D500 nefs, will tediously need to set-up a profile for it.

After trying PN on the d500 nefs with completely off results, it started to behave nicely all of a sudden.

I actually got the latest Photo Ninja (1.34) to circumvent the slow networked storage response of the earlier versions. Apart from an increase in graininess and dull flat greens, both of which are correctable, PN 1.25 did pretty well on D500 NEFs.
