...Funny you mention the 105/f2.5 AI-s... as I just picked one up and I\'ve been amazed at the sharpness these thing is capable of on a D700... I\'m seriously impressed for $160. I am also picking up a 200mm f4 AI-s and a 28mm f3.5 AI to replace my 28mm AF this week, so I\'m with you... it\'s addictive!
The 200 f/4 AIS arrived shortly after the 180 f/2.8 AIS. Here is a shot I stumbled onto with the 105 wide open. I\'d never shot manual focus before and was still trying to get my mind around how to set up the lens. I ended up shooting a spray of flowers just as a bee sailed into my field of view. Wouldn\'t you know it? With the lens wide open the shutter snapped at 1/8000th and the camera froze the bee in place...
