[QUOTE="aroy, post: 504579, member: 16090"] I have 105mm F2.8 AIS, and use it with D3300. Here are the observations . The DOF is very shallow and at F2.8 to F5.6 it is very difficult to get what you want in focus using the view finder. If you have slight vision power, the the task is even more difficult. Tripod and live view is the only sure fire method of getting the focus right. . The Mode has to be "M", and if you use external flash then that too has to be set to Manual mode. I have no idea of how to set the power level in built-in flash, but using the SB800 on the hot shoe, I get the power level after a few trials, as I use the macro lens for macro, the level is more or less set, but when you use it for normal shots, then you have to calculate the power level based on the distance and aperture settings. . In "M" mode you can set the shutter speed. That and the ISO are your only inputs that the camera can change, the aperture is set on the lens. It is better to use fixed ISO with non CPU lenses on the D3xxx and D5xxx series. [/QUOTE]
