Noct Nikkor experiences

[Michael Erlewine]

Thanks Andy! As they say, "That's what I'm talkin' about."

From what I read the NOCT is quite a bit sharper than the AFS 58nn/1,4G. Is this true?


Other folks: keeps these evaluations coming, if you will.

Where is the link to that thread?

Michael,
responding to your question, the Noct got back into my immediate attention - thanks for that

So here is another image which might help to visualize the earlier post.

I don't have any amazing shots so haven't contributed to the 'Best Shots' thread started by Airy.
I second Andy's comments about the emotional nature of the Noct and the AF-s 58mm comes close.

I posted a few on a previous thread (http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,1278.15.html) but here are a few others

I was not really looking for "best shots", but rather "most characteristic shots"... and I see a few good ones above
