[QUOTE="Blue_Esq, post: 523556, member: 36183"] So, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased the longer focal length prime that I've been wanting. Having only a 50mm f/1.8, I wanted another prime in the traditional portrait focal lengths. I picked up a 105mm f/2.5 AI-S on eBay for about $219 (USD). I'm working on getting better at the manual focusing and have struggled a bit with the limited view finder on my D5300. Thanks to the advise of a number of people here, I have purchased a split prism focusing screen that has yet to arrive. Apart from that, does anyone have any advice regarding the use of this classic lens. Below are a couple of the shots where I seem to actually be able to get the proper focus for once.
