The older Nikon 28/1.4 AF-D is also a very nice consideration for film and digital. But I am sorry that I don't have any film images to show here.
I have the 28/1.4 AF-D and it's a nice lens although the manual focus experience is predictably not that great. I'm interested in getting a Nikon film camera that I can use with it, one that can drive the autofocus, but whenever I try to figure out which cameras are compatible I get lost. The other Nikon-mount cameras I have are all manual-focus (Nikon 85/1.4 Ai-S and Zeiss 35/1.4 ZF.2) and I'd like to be able to use those too. I had a few recommendations in the "Which Nikon Film Camera" thread but that was before I got this lens and was interested in trying it in autofocus mode. Any suggestions?
People love to bash this guy, but his web page is very handy for people with questions like yours:
I'll make the same recommendation as in your other thread: F100, N90S, F80.
VR works on the 80 but not on the 90s, but 90s gives you CW/Spot metering that you don't get with the 80. 100 gives you both CW/Spot metering and VR. None of the older screw drive AF cameras are worth having.
