Really. On a D700, or a cropped body? Any mod to the lens?

I may have to pull that lens out and look it over again.

I had a Noct-Nikkor a few years back and used it on a D2H and D100. It was pretty unimpressive in my opinion, and highly overrated. I got mine for a steal--paid something like $600 and sold it for three times as much. I should have kept it--looks like prices went up since then.

It did control coma fairly well, but not nearly as well as some other modern designs, and I found it really pretty soft and dreamy wide open. If you like that look, great, but I like my lenses sharp, not soft.

The Nikkor 55/1.2 is great lens and sells for 250$. 2450$ for an extra 3mm? No thanks.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
