I bought one of those along with this 105, and have been having focusing issues with that one too, albeit slightly different from those on the 105. On the 28mm, when focusing on closer in subjects (as opposed to infinity), the green confirmation dot stays on for a pretty wide focusing range, so nailing focus hasn't been easy, especially as the wider angle makes it harder to focus visually. After some trial and error, I have found that I get more consistent results if I focus outward toward the subject and stop when the green dot first comes on, rather than focusing inward from infinity, but it is still a bit hit or miss. Do you have any insights to share on getting the best out of that lens? Mine is a late 60s Nikkor-H with scalloped focus and aperture collars, by the way.</p></blockquote><p></p>
