AI, 1/200, f/11. I wish it would render the scent of the hamamelis in the same way.

I use a 28mm f/2 AI as a normal lens on the D7000 and like it very much. Usually avoiding the largest aperture because of the harsh bokeh, from f/2.8 it becomes more pleasant.

Here at f/4, with a 100% crop:

Any reason to prefer the f/2 over the 28 mm f/2.8 AIS for such scenery?

Yes, that's like an amplifier that goes to 11 vs. 10 😆

Phew, finally managed to attach a picture  :P

Anyway, this is a really old one

Shot for the press release of a beginning designer, location was the, at that moment still under construction, Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Hague, somewhere in or around 1983
(The people of The Hague more popularly nicknamed the building 'the Monkey Rock', due to its high structure, with layer upon layer of balconies, just like you tend to see in the monkey pens at the zoo  ;) )

We had to maneuver our way to one of the balconies, I think around 6 floors up, via building site elevators and improvised stairs, between construction workers, building materials, and obviously a lot of dirt and dust (which considering the dark toned clothing really made it a challenge.

The background may have been better if a bit more out of focus, but considering the lens used that was pretty much impossible

Glad you are able to post now, Paul.  Really an eighties look, with that building and the design.

Maybe I'm lucky with my copy, but I don't see much flare with it. Sure, right into the sun gives a little, but certainly manageable.

After a nearly green winter (only frequently snow cover on ground), the landscape was covered with 10-15 cm snow yesterday in Southeast Norway, causing lots of complete traffic chaos. This morning there were still white fields, and again snowflakes in air. (D750, AiS Nikkor 28/2.0 @ 1/1000, f/4, ISO 200).

Wonderful lens, very good handling (weight-size-ergonomy) with good contrast, great resolution, and last but not least nice starshaped highlights.

Here a night shot with D300 and 2/28 Ais at f:8 iso 200 (jpeg fine)
