[QUOTE="Englischdude, post: 401314, member: 16372"] I picked up one of these manual gems dead cheap last year and will be trying to use it regularly for my 52 in 2015. I am really amazed by the optical quality of this lens, and the fact that it is constant 3.5 is great. The Bokeh is beautifully soft. The only problem I have with it is with the zoom creep (one piece focus/slide zoom). If anyone has any great ideas about solving zoom creep on such a lens the please post (insulation tape on the barrel is the only option I have at the moment). Anyway, here a couple of pics: [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/6/3/7/2/nj_brown_square.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/6/3/7/2/pepper.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/6/3/7/2/hanger.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://gallery.nikonites.com/gallery/files/1/6/3/7/2/cars.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
