Where was that before I bought the 2.5 for twice the price

Yes, I only "re-bought" an AiS 105/2.5 last year (replacing the one I had foolishly sold many-many years ago), and then got all excited about the prospect of a 105/1.8 despite the huge overlap in those two lenses. In the end I caved and recently bought a very-late serial# 105/1.8 in near-mint condition for just a little more than the above quoted Buy/Sell item, so that is a great price!

I have to say that the mechanicals and cosmetics of the 105/1.8 is just amazing (probably exceeded only by my Noct-Nikkor 58/1.2), and getting a copy in excellent condition is well worth it just from the pleasure it will bring you as a piece of Nikkor "jewelry"!

Haven't been up to much, but Barb and I are Great British Bake-off fans. I'm always amazed how they find so many talented bakers in the UK to make such complicated bakes. Recently the contestants had to make a Pithivier. None of the contestants had even heard of this French puff pastry pie, yet every single one met the brief. Here is Barb's first ever Pithivier filled with caramelized onions, spinach, feta, and potato. Fillings can be anything, and I can tell she thinks she can do better next time. All shot with the 24mm f2.8 ais & the tc16a

These photos are outright poor as I was in unfamiliar territory.

Was invited to help at the 1000 smiles Rotary foundation in Ensenada BC MX, it was my first time and everyone was busy so I was wondering around aimlessly and the photos show it.

At the end of the two days I was able to connect with people and look forward to future participation.

The foundation delivers care for children with cleft lips and palates, including dental care. They have been doing this for a long time. There was a nurse there who was one of their patients as a child and was now providing care, she looked beautiful too.

The doctors that provide care, male and female, were so loving to their patients. All care is free by volunteers, and these are reconstructive surgery specialists who earn $$$$ in their USA practice, lovingly caring for poor Mexican children for free, supported by Mexican and American nurses and dentists, very impressive. Care goes on for many years, not a one time action.

Here are a couple of my bad shots, will be back and join Rotary as well.

Feel free to join those of us who have both lenses. It's really just a matter of working your way past the idea that they would be redundant .

On the subject of the 105 f/1.8 Ai-s, here are a few watery monochromes taken with it on my D800E at Big Qualicum River.

More fall color. Okay, not leaves but the sun sets over water in the fall (and winter) and the colors are right, so that counts right? 50-135mm.

Many thanks, it’s a lot nicer when it’s ~70 degrees out too, sometimes these are shot at 40 degrees. Nice time to be at the beach.

I want to convince you the millennium 50mm 1.4 is worth every penny and the moniker of nocturnal. This lens is in a different league from the other MF 50mm.
Chicanos bring their lowriders out for dia de los muertos, I don't really like these cars, but I respect the love and pride bestowed upon them.

These at 1.4

Lens is not aspheric and it shows in the butterfly shaped edge highlights, but they detract nothing from the photo.

Really good price for a wonderful lens.

If possible I advice to check the focus ring friction, because a proper lubed one is a joy to use, a really pleasing experience, same as the other "fat boys", 85mm f/1.4, 135mm f/2 and 180mm f/2.8.
I think one of the reasons to use MFNG for a lot of us.



Here a little stopped down, I don't remember the aperture.

These are wonderful, especially the long flock of birds in the first one.

Only 5.30 am here and looking at these I am already now thinking of a big breakfast. I always have to go check out recipes after seeing such scrumptious photos, need to check out Pithivier

Echoing the others, great set, but superb timing on the first one. Also appreciate the changing perspective you took as the sun went down.
