MEPER:
The AI and AIS Nikkor 200/4 is a 5-lens design?

I will look for one. Seems to be a good performer.......

corrected :o :o :o

MEPER:
Some consider the Nikkor-Q version to be a "bokeh-master"?
The newer AIS version is not quite up to that level?

I was told years ago that I should avoid the Nikkor-Q as it as not able to make a sharp image so I avoided it.
Think the reputation was because many amateurs used it and was not able to "nail" the focus correct in the film days and maybe not use a fast enough shutter speed.
Since then I have got one and tested it on a digital body. Even at F4 it can deliver a sharp image and bokeh looked very nice. Until now I have not really used it other for some indoor test images.
