My regret was 20mm f/3.5 which I sold after getting the D70. I pretty much either hung on to the lenses or have been able to re-acquire them. Except for that and 50mm f/1.4 (both Ai and AiS), I pretty much have everything I used to own and more.
We love our manual focus Nikkor lenses! Part 2

Yeah. I sold of my 300 mm F4.5 and 35-105 F3.5-4.5. Both were prefect condition.
Kind of miss them. Haha

not really for me. the 135/2 was nice, but perspective din work out on fx. anyhow, i do have an ex condiiton 75-150 3.5 if you re interested. i wont be back in sg till early next year though, so you ll have to wait =P
I don't know if this has been asked before but...
Have any of you sold off one of your manual Nikkors only regret it later ? I needed the money (as usual) and sold my E-series 75-150mm lens some time ago. Big mistake, that...
Here's a pic taken with my 75-150mm when I just got my first DSLR, the D70. Man, that cam was back-focusing like crazy when I first got it, but luckily with a manual-focus lens that's a non-issue
Old car, old lens. Cichlid, the picture looks lovely and as Robbie J said brings back memories of years ago. Thumbs up.
Hmm the old school E series 75-150m surely hold its own against newer lenses. It is sharp.

Thanks guys
just done with converting the rokkor 24/2.8 which shares the same optical formula with the leica elmarit-R 24/2.8. it'll go head to head with the nikkor 24/2.8 soon. perhaps the nikkor will be better, than i can continue posting in this thread =P
shot with nikkor 24/2.8 AIs @ 2.8 on a D40

I think he fed it poisoned meat first and then took the close shot. They don't normally react well to DSLR mirrors clacking otherwise.
Arrgh how can you even think of selling away this classic? You are my hero with this lens and kinda convinced me to get one of my own leh hahah. BTW, I am still loving mine and added a 105mm f2.5 which is quite nice and sharp when you get the focus bang on.
Nice complete blur background from the 200mm pre Ai..:thumbsup:
Once in a while I will take it out and shoot my kids with it. Here is a picture of my daughter shot wide open at f/1.2. I love the way the way the lens draw. I will use it as long as I am able to focus well with it.
