Tony, nice pano of the ominous sky. My son decided to go surfing when that storm was rolling in. Here's a b&w of him out in the heavy chop.

For my Aurora work I use either / both D300 & D700 with several different MF Nikkor's. 24mm ƒ/2, 28mm ƒ/2, 35mm ƒ/1.4, 50mm ƒ/1.4, or the Noct 58mm ƒ/1.2

58mm is about as long as I care to go and I prefer not to go any wider than 20mm.

I also have many other MF in the bag. Manual focus is the only way I can feed my "fast glass" habit. Nobody wants them because it takes a bit longer to get the picture.


Welcome Mike - you've definitely come to the right place.

Our opening statement is "My name is (Peter) and I'm a Nikon MF junkie" - we're still working on our version of the 12 Step Plan!

Welcome aboard Mike. Very nice image.

Sam, welcome to you as well, and what a lovely dog. Two new people in a row, I'm not sure that's happened before.

Ditto to what I just said to Mike!

+1 Sam. Welcome aboard. Nice looking dog.

Thanks Scott - I have an even better image taken with a MF lens, but alas it is made by Voigtlander . . . .

After yesterday the Voigtlander 90/3.5 CV might just replace my 105/2.5 AIS - whew! There I said it. Never thought I would say such a thing. Not a knock on the 105/2.5 - it's still a great lens, but the CV is just a little sharper, lighter and focuses much closer all of which comes in handy. It's just not 105mm which is a shame.

Probably Oloong (not sure of the spelling) did not want her image taken with that AF glass either.

Thank you Leighton. It's really good on full frame as well if you get the right prospective

+1 on Leightons comment! That aside John, you cited some good reasons to go with that "other" brand. My regret is that if you are using it instead of the Nikon 105, you will post less here on this thread.

Nice series with Nikki Leighton. I especially like the second image.

Here is one taken last week with the 105 2.5 at f4 (John you looking ).

yeah blasphemy John. And as Curtis isn't here - let me say - I agree. It's a wonderful lens. Very sharp - great colour too, and as you say - very small and light for a 90.

Phillippe - how close were you to that boy ? - no wonder he's looking down - that 24's a big lens.
Georg - sensational shots - the first one reminds me of an illustration from a children's fairy tale.
Leighton - nice to see nikki's inspired you to go "portrait" mode.

Some from St Gallen from a couple of weeks ago. A miserable day outside so these are all from the cathedral of the Abby of St Gall. There is a bell in the cathedral that dated from 700AD and is one of the oldest bells in Europe. It was brought to St Gallen from Ireland in the 8th Century by a monk who went there to visit - Yes, this old Bell is really just a tacky souvenir, probably has written on it "My Saint went to Ireland and all he brought back was this stupid bell".

All the photos were taken with the 105mm f2.5
