[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 373540, member: 15805"] Just for S&Gs, I pitted my [B][COLOR=#ff0000]1983-era[/COLOR] Nikkor 135/2.8 Ai prime[/B] against my [B][COLOR=#ff0000]2013[/COLOR] Nikkor 70-200 2.8 VRII[/B]. [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography%202/13528aiv70200G.jpg[/IMG] The 135 is on the left....... on the right is the 70-200. Identical lighting, ISO, shutter speed & aperture. I just zoomed the 70-200 in just a bit past 135 to compensate for it's focus breathing so the FOVs are the same. Both were focused manually as the 135 is not AF. As the 70-200 is just a year old, it's in pristine condition. The 135, however, is chock-full of dust and has the usual scratches and mars on the glass. You be the judge. [/QUOTE]
