Really nice shots with the 135mm Todd! I may have to try that lens out...

Thanks, Gary. This lens just pleases me to no end, and I feel very lucky to have gotten ahold of it. I posted a bunch of samples right after getting it, in this thread here:

That is brilliant.

Where are the longer shots? Luminosity will be disappointed if no one comes up with a MF shot from a 180 f/2.8 AI. I know the 200 f/4 AIS still works... how about that one folks?

I thought I heard my name .

I would definitely love to see some 180/2.8 AIS shots (more the AIS because that's when it became an ED lens).

Ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find...

And another since I'm feeling generous... (I know I have them, but I'm hoping some other folks will chime in. It is a great lens!)

Heres some with manual focus lenses.
1. Clown/bell 80/200 F4.5 Ai .

2. Cow mural - 105 P .

3. Zebra - 43/86 Ai .

4. Spider lady - 50 F1.4 S .

5. Water lilies - 80/200 F4.5 Ai .

Though I generally prefer the 105/2.5 Ai, the 105/1.8 Ai-S is no slouch!

Stunning! I've been doing street shooting at night of late and greatly enjoying the process, though as I observed before, the streets of Marin County don't quite have the charm of Venice.

I'll share a photo taken last Thursday evening in downtown San Rafael nonetheless. Shot with the 28 f/2.8 AI-s, ISO 1400.

Wonderful catch CGrindahl with superb natural color!
