Thanks John.
Looking at your crocuses, Fons and John, I could only go out and take a quick snap of ours but in the dark and under the rain

I was asked if I would photograph for counting wild reindeers today, a question I can't say no to. For this task, we are flying over the whole area with a small aircraft and photograph every herd we are seeing.
Here is one picture of Finse, a little community with a railroad station and a hotel in the mountains, and a herd of reindeers just south of Finse. This herd of 171 reindeer was the biggest herd my plane found today.

The Autofocus of the 80/2.8 will only work on the F3AF (and apparantly also on some other Filmbodies).

But the lens will work on any other Nikon-body that accepts AI lenses  as a manual lens.  It has the same focus behaviour as the 105/1.8 but in this case 'damped' by the non-functioning AF.     

The lens is perfect, colourful, contrast, and sharp  at f2.8  and unbelievable sharp stepped down. It is at least in the class of the Voigtlander 90 in my opinion.  The only little drawback (and that is a personal note) is the focus at 1 meter only, in which case the use of the close-up attachment lenses is an outcome.

[Akira]

If I remember correctly, Af lenses for F3AF drain the battery power when mounted on the modern AF camera or DSLR.  Didn't you experience that?

[John Geerts]

Nope, no battery-loss at all, not on the D200, D700, Df and D800E.  But the AF-selection-button is switched to M of course.
