[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 665454, member: 7240"] I did a little photo walk with my 8 years old daughter today. I armed myself with 4 manual focus prime lenses and she had her brand spanking new AF-S VR 18-105. I am not sure about forum regulations regarding number of images, so just to be on the safe side I divided these photos in several posts. The lenses I had were: Nikkor AI 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor AI 55mm f/1.2 Nikkor AI 58mm f/1.2 Noct Nikkor AI-S 105mm f/2.8 Micro I did not correct or edit the images. All the softness, chromatic aberrations, purple fringing, pincushion and barrel distortions, vignetting and flare and glare and whatnot are still there. All the faults are present in their full glory. Plus my focusing errors that I did not try to hide with sharpening. Somehow flickr seems to eat the EXIF but I divide these images by lens and print the aperture used in every shot. First the [B]Nikkor AI 50mm f/1.8[/B] (long nose version). This lens probably has the second best bokeh of any Nikon 50mm lens (even if we include all the f/1.2, f/1.4, f/1.8 and f/2 versions). The best bokeh prize goes to Nikkor AI 50mm f/2.
