My first use of the Nikkor 50-135mm f/3.5

I found it quite compact to carry it in a tank bag during my last motorbike trip.
Thanks for looking.

Good shot, and in your hands I'm not surprised.  My copy is very good...a "keeper".  It is missing screws and the barrel flexes at the joints, so I'm waiting for the funds to have it overhauled, and will need to find a competent service place that will be able to preserve the high optical performance after the service.

Aguinaldo, it is actually quite a simple yet striking image.  The great background and the distance really make her standout, and very sharp.  Love the one foot raised  :)

Lovely image with the seven shades of grey in the background mountains.

Glad to know you enjoy your trip together.  It is difficult to fully judge the performance of the lens, but it is not surprising to see the result of this quality so long as you enjoy using whatever lens you are satisfied with.  :)

Another vote from me for a great image, from a great photographer!  The lens mattered less.

The 50-135 is one of those true gems from Nikon's golden age and used by a good photographer, nice results are the outcome.
