[QUOTE="STM, post: 782089, member: 12827"] There is a fair amount of spherical aberration wide open but that can make for some very nice soft focus "dreamy" portraits. It is gone by f/2.8 and the lens is extremely sharp after that until diffraction sets in. I do not trust the focusing dot, never have. Since all my Nikkors are manual focus Non-AI/AI/AIS I have microprism/split image screens in all of my DSLR's. The very narrow depth of field of this lenses makes the microprism show dead on focusing consistently. Mine on my F3HP [ATTACH=CONFIG]373991._xfImport[/ATTACH] I took this casual portrait of my lovely wife with the rig above at f/2 with Kodak Gold 100 film that I processed in Beseler C41 chemistry and scanned with my Nikon Super CoolScan 8000 ED. The proof is in the pudding! [ATTACH=CONFIG]373992._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
