So you have this "not so cheap" lens ? :-) Nice circular out of focus effects but how does it handle in everyday shooting, such as portraits or city streets... :-) ?

It has made up the greater part of my shots the time i have it now, which is more than a year.
I have no problem using it as a single lens all day, one may nit, i think, is its shortest distance with is 58 cm.

Love is one thing. Spring time another.

The second one is not from the wedding, is it? ;-)

So you can imagine never felt the need to sell it, despite the initial price, comparing it with a 50mm/1.4afs and calling it slightly better, really ???

Beautiful images. I particularly like the very first one and the last one. Last one reminds me of 200/F4 micro nikkor.

A l'contraire, thank you for sharing. While I haven't a need for Nikkor lenses, it is always nice to see what different designs can do.
