I often think should have held on to the D3, this is with the 85/1.4ais, i see.

Thanks for noting the actual lens ID, I mislabelled the photo (now corrected).

The D3S is the generation model of choice for me, I still have at least one floating around but [too] rarely use it. I tried a full-spectrum conversion of the D3 that failed due to the internal shutter-LED monitor, and hence sold off the camera.

Winter night in the old parts of Oslo.

I like this high-ISO look, you are a past master of it.  Also the railroad tracks shot is [presumably] a lovely demo of what is accomplished with the tilt function. Many great 80/85 photos here.

Winter night in the old parts of Oslo. 85mm f/1.4 AIS AFD 85mm f/1.4 on the D3. A modern camera probably might reduce noise more, but hardly impact or improve the scene mood

Wow, what a great moody picture (and must have been slippery too  ) !

Avoid sneakers or high heels and there should be little problem. The snow cover is thin on the ground

A small contribution with the 85mm f/2 Ai...

A deserted terrace at my favorite Café... (mostly weather related)

Sometimes Norwegian authorities surprise us. For example, by putting up megalithic monuments along roads crossing the mountain backbone of Norway. Still no idea why they do this other than making a "window" into the landscape view??

85mm f/2.8 PC-Nikkor on a D2X, B+W 403 filter. Neither UV nor IR, but nice nevertheless. The "window" monument itself is > 2m tall and must weigh tons. One of the glaciers in Jotunheimen, Smørstabbreen, is seen through the forced viewpoint.

Just sitting in a hotel room in Moscow when writing this. I`m also a lover of the 85mm Nikkor lenses. If you have the NPCI (Nikon Photo Contest International) calendar from 2000, then you can see a picture taken by me (august image 2000) in that calendar. The image is taken from a bridge with Nikon FA and Nikkor 85mm f/2 on apertude f/5.6. Please see the name of the photographer down to right and also on the calerndar`s last page where all the thirteen images (including the front page) is shown. See you!

I have a similar shot taken @28 mm and FF (not shown here: it would be OT) in Aug.2018. My POV is a little more to the right, the perspective is different. You can see it in the Objet trouvé theme. I have been wondering too on the meaning of such a heavy "frame" in that particular context. It gave me the same feeling when I saw the Snøhetta Viewpoint (Dovrefjell): An artificially superimposed concept, adding nothing (instead removing ) to your own experience. Better walking around and finding more inspiration without some "artist" giving preconfectioned hints.

Nonetheless, like Birna I have taken a few pictures around the monolith... Maybe the "artist" would say Mission Accomplished!

Ciao from Massimo

Ressurection of this 85 dedicated thread  :-)

All by Nikkor 85 1.4 D

[Jakov Minić]

Ah that 85/1.4 AF-D and those images

[Petr sheepeck Jůza]

I made a small mistake - the first one is taken by another 85 - 1.8 D :-)

And I have so many portraits taken with 1.4 - as I used it a lot for my "100 strangers" series on Flickr.

Excellent series, Petr!

Thank you, Luc.
Airy, I would not touch those apples, but I would love to taste that cheese.  :-)
