nice pick up.

Now speaking of picking up, the Turd saw the cute little doggie and started to consider waking up... and then he gave up and went back to napping. Nice life.

As a side note I briefly had a 20/2.8 AIS in addition to my 20/2.8D and I essentially found little difference between them - so little that I kept my AF version since it was cheaper to keep it than to keep the 20/2.8 AIS and occasionally AF came in handy.

Anyone knows more how 20/4 compare with the others?

Man, you make me really jealous! I am on the edge for long time about this lens. I keep telling myself that I do not need it! Congrats!

Thanks Eric As they say "let sleeping dogs lay"
Thanks Mahai. There's one on the B&S for $300.00 in great condition!
Clouseau you could post a photo of the lens

Phillippe love the shadows in the second photo!

Georg I Love the Carlsberg shot. I put a few of those back when I lived in Toronto

Ray, thanks and congrats to your new all shiny 35/1.4! I simply love this lens (my battered copy) and rarely leave home without it.
The bokeh can be a bit funky, but that's what I call character ;-)
I really like your last shot - the blossom against the blurred out background - very, very nice!

Dogs take sleeping to a level we shall never be able to achieve. I am always jealous looking at mine with the feet sticking up in the air and their bodies all twisted and contorted and sound asleep.

Philippe, very cool framing of the first shot of the cathedral!

Eric, great shot of your day-dreaming Turd!

Chuong, beautiful little birdie! The 105/2.5 strikes again.

John, stellar panorama! The 105/2.5 strikes again and again:-)

Ed, the old mine cart is very nicely taken! Love the textures-enhancing light.

Clouseau, congrats! The 105/1.8 is a fantastic lens.

A picture taken 2009 with the 20/3.5 Ais at f/16 to get a nice sun-star:

Had to remove zillions of dustspots, the drawback of shooting at f/16

Two pictures from today:

Thanks for everyone's opinion on the 20 f/3.5!

Ray - congrats on your 35 f/1.4.. that's a super clean copy of that lens! I figure at some point I'll have to get it back...

Philippe - wonderful Strasbourg photos! The 28 f/2.8 in your hands does no wrong.

Georg - do many boats in your German harbour have English names? Very nice example of sunstars with the lens I'm interested in!

2 Lenses I will never sell the 16 3.5 and this one the 20 3.5 UD 72mm version. Oops added another a closeup done with it. 100% crop

You have three MF Nikkors now so you're qualified to be a regular contributor on this thread! :P

Congrats for your new lens!

Philip, the "Northern Trust" was a "Gastlieger" here - laying at the dockside for some months and waiting for charter/order. We have ships with many names here - English named ones, Russian ones, Scandinavian ones.
The 20/3.5 Ais is indeed a neat little lens. It works great with many kind of filters. The kinda strong vignetting is a trade-off for the small size. The mighty 14-24/2.8 is a much better lens in my opinion, but size, weight, price and the lack of a filter-thread are arguments contra the monstrous AF-S Nikkor.

Two excellent images once again. The guy in the second one is very lucky there isn't a fine shadow between his legs or he 'd get arrested! I had to look twice to see he was using a camera!

Don't you only have about 4 hours of daylight at this time of the year?

Great images on the last several pages! Haven't been able to post much lately, our internet has been off and on for a week!

Ray, congrats on a beautiful lens! You're raising my blood pressure.
