Actually my workhorse lens for concerts for the past year or more is the original Nikkor PC 105/2.5 LTM, the Sonnar design, made in the mid 1950s. I managed to get one in great condition some years back and it is probably my most-used and most reliable lens for these events.
NOOOOO! Please don't send me down the rabbit-hole of considering the purchase yet another legendary Nikkor 105mm lens!
The Nikkor-PC Sonnar lens has its admirers, and I've thought about looking for one. But I already have an AiS copy (Xenotar /Gauss design), a 105/1.8, a Micro-Nikkor 105/2.8, _and_ an AF-DC 105/2, so really I have a serious problem with 105mm lenses and should not be looking.
Lovely photos BTW. I love my 85/1.4, but find the 105mm focal-length is just that extra-bit of distance for casual concert photos, not to mention the 105/2.5 doesn't intimidate the same way that the 85/1.4 "light cannon" does.
