[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 561695, member: 3903"] What I have found is that I had to replace the focusing screens on my D7000, D700 and Df in order to be able to properly use manual focus lenses and get decent results. Moderns DSLRs focusing screens are not de-polished enough for manual focusing. It's like you see through them more than you can focus on the surface of the screen. You can check on-line focusingscreens.com as they have most models. I did the install myself and found the instructions very clear and easy to follow. Here's a shot done with the 105 and Df. I think I've read that this lens is more of a portrait lens and it shines more at closer distances than maybe other telephoto lenses... [ATTACH type="full"]214992._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
