I am going to dip my toe into the MF Nikon Glass pond.

I have a D810 and D500. Very likely to get a D850 in the future.

I don't have the best eyes for manual focusing. So, any help from the gear (green dot, brighter viewfinder, longer focus throw etc) is appreciated.

My preferred focal length for everyday/walkaround is 35mm (on full frame).

What's the best (for a beginner) 35mm Nikon manual focus to get?



A DK17-M will help as well. Should work on a D810.

Reaching back several weeks, here's one I am just getting to from Glacier NP.
The falls colors were a little muted this year due to some unusually early October arctic air.

Nikon Df; ISO 100, 105mm f2.5 AIS @ f11; 1/15 s

Stay warm, stay safe.

Thanks Doug,

Shooting with it fully open does work in some conditions but they are few...Those "birds" in the oof areas can be quite disturbing..

Great shot with the 105mm f2.5 ais lens. Love to use that lens in the woods 👍👍

Posting one to move the thread along.

How about some holiday colors and bokeh

Trying out the Noct with the Metabones Focal Expander. Like the Speedbooster for crop sensors, but opposite. Expands the image circle to cover medium format. Gives it a 1.26x enlargement. Especially helpful for adapting lenses wider than 50mm.

At f/1.2 of course

Some August 2017 pics with the 300mm f2.8 ais that I had just got at that time. It is built like a tank, and it looks as if it has been to war, but the glass was clean, and the price was right - $400. I ended up using it for something I never considered - as a portrait lens. It's bokeh is so nice it is like carrying a background with you to separate the subject from the background.

Very sad to see my brother in a ventilator in a Miami hospital ICU due to COVID. Prognosis is not good. This is the reason I do not go out much. Photography can wait.
Please say a prayer for his health.

Today's sunrise with the 20mm 2.8 ais, not the 15mm as listed, the 15mm is too wide sometimes.

I was in the office today so took advantage of the very quiet streets to do a bit of night-time shooting. There was hardly anybody around. The good thing about having a camera on a tripod is that people naturally keep out of your way.

In the meantime thinning the collection and have a minty Ai 35/2 available in the B&S forum.


Hmmm. What a coincidence. I was just asking about a manual focus 35mm.

Needless to say, this lens is now on the way to Toronto. Thanks Santa Steven!

Sorry to hear you guys still struggling with the pandemic.
In Vietnam, the Government almost closed down the border this year. The economy is deep down but most of us are safe, in consequence, less gear acquisition accordingly.
Wish you all safes and sounds over there.

This AM, I met this guy doing long exposure shot in the central point which is used to crownded normally.

Raphael - I am sure we all are sending prayers out to you and your bother. This is the type of community that will rally behind you. Got to think that is a force to be reckoned with!!
