It has been a while since I last abused the 135DC :)
Let me know which is your favorite!

140802 is my favourite!   

Superb image Jakov, you have almost got me scouring ebay for a 135. I have the 105DC in the back of a cupboard somewhere. I will have to go and find it.

Cheers

I like the last one, but admire the new red tail light bokeh technique!

Overwhelmed by all you comments, thank you!

Bjørn, it seems that most agree with your favorite. Who am I to dispute your selection.

BEZ, get that 105DC out and misuse it. The only reason why chose the 135DC is because I don't have that focal length in any of my lenses, unlike 105.

Akira, I think the last one is best, too. It has the minimalist element with flare on top. 

Ashlandish, thank you so much for your praise.

Erik, yes, spring and romance are in the air. We must take full advantage!

Keith, Keith, Keith :D

Thank you John! You see why I had difficulties choosing one.

Thankfully I have you around to point out the créme de la créme for me :)

I couldn't resist more abuse tonight.
Returned from Amsterdam, saw the tulips close to my crib, parked my car, grabbed the gear and approached the subjects.

Which one this time :)

Number four for me Jakov, but in truth I like all of them. 

I need the colours, such as these, as our colder weather has started down here and we slide into late autumn and winter.

While the kids were decorating the Christmas tree a few nights ago I got a chance for some fun with the 135mm f/2 ... The first is with the DC set to zero, the second to full rear defocus and the third to full front defocus.  The last is with the 180mm f/2.8 AiS.  A pattern of little diffraction blemishes can be seen on the blur circles in the 135mm images - any idea where these might originate?  The 180mm image is quite a bit cleaner.  Merry Xmas to those who celebrate it, and all the best to everyone else!

Dust/dirt in side the lens?

John,

These are lovely images which, along with Jakov's DC photos of the tulips, have caused me to put Nikkor DCs on my list. Just curious, what aperture were you using for the photos taken with the 135 DC? Perhaps F2.8/4.0 or so.

To All: Enjoy the holidays...Robert
