This one I had only about 5 sec to try to get a decent image. I was in "stationary mode" where I select the focus point manually.
I tried after this image to change to "people". More of this next time I take a walk with the camera.
I can be quite fun to shoot people during Saturday night. A shame I did not have a bit more time to "play" with the girls.

I assume that (AFC, S, People) the camera will try to track moving people and only release when focus is perfect?

Yes, it is nice to be able to isolate objects in city environments to get more less stressful looking images.
The small DOF at 1.8 can create a 3D like look.

An admirable lens, no doubt.  I'll take a 100-300mm f/4 with VR if or when it comes.

That looks like a dream lens for live shows too. Very, very sexy  :)

It's indeed a lovely lens.

There is an older topic about this lens:    https://nikongear.net/revival/index.php?topic=1446.0

Thank you for pointing to the old thread.

I'd need a new back or a camera bearer and I'd have to sell my soul to own one.

With a hybrid aspherical element and a 9-blade aperture this lens is a sleeper. Unfortunately it doesn't AF on Z Series Nikon Cameras. It's compatible back to 1959 if you add rabbit ears. I own two of these. Mine are the AF-D version.

I had to send one back as it had a de-centering problem. These lenses were a kit lens to the Nikon F100.

A focus motor in the camera is required for auto focus so some Nikon DSLR do not offer AF with this lens.
