[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 29102, member: 6548"] Hello Glenn! First I must thank you again for showing us how the MF lenses draw on a DSLR...excellent photographs sir! The dragon fly image is superb...DOF incredible...The paper wasp image is superb!!! OOF area is downright mean!!! :) Congratulations on the new stablemates!!! The 28/3.5 Ai Nikkor was the first NIKON item I ever bought...had it before I had a body! It is a fantastic daylight lens...3.5 it loves bright light (hard to handle indoors with flash though)...point it at the sun...it's flare looks like it was supposed to be there and it makes somes stars you won't believe! It is a lens you can squeeze and get all kinds of neat stuff out of it! You can buy one now for less than 50 bucks and it will matrix meter on many DSLR bodies as long as it is at least an Ai lens! First and last samples are the 28... The 135/2.8 is a great lens...it will blow out a background like you wouldn't believe...smooth as silk and you don't even have to open it wide...like it's more famous brothers the 105/1.8 and 105/2.5 infinity focus is crazy! It is not a macro lens but close up it can make tiny objects pop! Beware most of the 135/2.8 Q's that are cheap cheap are pre Ai and therefore won't really work with F mount DSLRs until the lens is converted...converted ones are cheap too though! :) Middle pic macro shot from about 5-6 feet close focusing distance indoors with a beam of afternoon sunlight working as a spot light. I hope you don't mind me taking a few liberties with your thread by posting a few of my own photos but my only intention is to spread the word on what these fine old Nikkors are capable of doing. Thanks again sir keep the images coming please!!! [/QUOTE]
