[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 72540, member: 6548"] Nice. I have a 135 Q which is the older non Ai version and Glenn has a 135 too (ais I believe). It is one of the most seriously underrated and overlooked Nikkors there is. Yours is Ai so it works on anything Nikon. You really don't need a meter because you can chimp or look at your histogram. Back in the day 135 was considered a must have portrait lens and as such they made tons of them. They are cheap cheap cheap especially the non Ai. If you have an extra 75-100 bucks to throw around (less for the non Ai) and you like the focal length buy one you will not be disappointed with the performance at all. That image of me in my gallery was made with a 135 by my ten year old kid manual focus and all. I hope Glenn catches this thread and comments on the lens. That generation of camera and the F100 are bangers with AF. They are almost like having P&S 35mm auto. They meter very good and make taking film snaps almost as easy as using a DSLR. [/QUOTE]
