[Let me know how that lens is. I found one for practically free.
It\'s good, but I\'d not get it if I had the 85/1.4 AF-D. I finished the AI conversion this afternoon and went out. It\'s really sharp in the middle at f/1.8, but the strong curvature of field makes the corners really soft if you shoot flat objects (but on the other hand, only freaks do that wide open). The bokeh is quite cool. Something inbetween the 105/2.5 and a fast 50 mm lens. Alot of character, but sometimes too harsh. Better closer up (as usual), but the MFD is 1 meter, which is as poor as my Samyang.
All these are wide open on D700.
I must say that it shines for being such an old lens! Definitely worth trying.
Edit: One more thing. This lens is one of the most easy to focus manually using the stock screen I\'ve ever tried! On the other hand, the AF assist reliability is the opposite. Probably because of the rendering.
