One of my fave Nikon lenses - all-time category: Nikkor 80mm-200mm f/4 ai-s. They can be purchased for almost nothing (I got mine for free). Incredibly sharp, great tones and bokeh.

Lovely shots! I have always preferred the 80-200/4.5 that has the square baffle on the rear element. My copy seems to perform just slightly better than any of the f/4 versions I have tried. It’s one of my three “not selling” lenses (the others are the 55/1.2 AI and the 28/3.5 with 5 aperture blades).

I actually am really enjoying using this lens. Tiny, fast, works great for 'street' shots. Have not been disappointed with it at all for this kind of use. Plus it makes an M camera pocketable.
