Another image taken this morning using the budget Nikon 105F2.5 AIS with extension tube on 5D. On cropped bodies expect it to be even more close up. This is already about 1:1 magnification. With additional closeup filter expect to go even closer. Shot taken wide open, thus the depth of field is really thin.
Item 20. 105F2.5 AIS (with built in hood), used but not abused condition (some wear of coating at back of lens, and rubber of focus ring came off, replaced with gaffer tape)
Image quality wise still very contrasty and sharp. Value for money macro and portrait lens $250.
Do you still have your 105F2.5 AIS and the Tokina Tokina 80-200 F2.8 ATX Pro ??85f1.8 willing to let go at 450 for a fast deal

Here is whats left:
1. AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G
Selling this D70s kit lens. Got it with my D70 in the past. Not been using much so selling it off now. Good condition, rubber no sweat marks at all. Full set
with hood, caps etc. Very Sharp copy. This lens will not be out resolved and still gives very good quality even on high end bodies like D2Xs, D300 etc. The
range of this lens is fantastic for walk around and travelling, just get another lens like 70-300 and it should cover most photographers' needs. Do note the
build of the lens as well. Which is similar to higher end lens like like 18-200VR , 24-120VR etc. This lens can no longer be bought easily locally as well
because it was sold with the D70/s as a kit but no longer available. The kit lens now like the 18-135 and 18-55 / VR, do not have such built and are of
smaller apertures. At 18mm, they are all F3.5 but at 55mm, The 18-55 is already F5.6, at 70mm the 18-135 is already F5.3, which its still F4.5 for this lens.
Making this the fastest of the kit lens.
A shot with this lens:
Selling this mint condition rarely used lens at only $300.
3. AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED
Totally mint condition lens. Got from a friend who bought the 18-200VR with his D80 and gave this to me for trying. Pretty sharp for such a high zoom lens.
It gives a very good zoom range for this price, any wider range would be the 18-200VR which cost 3-4 times more. Lens less than a year but cant find warr
card.
Image taken with lens:
Selling $350 for this mint condition, almost unused lens.

4. AFD 80-200 F2.8
For those asking about the 80-200, i have some images here. Already sold one set, now left another set to let go. This lens is Very very sharp. feel free to
come compare it against other more exp lens like the 70-200VR and you will see... no obligations.
This is not my set, but the same model. Equally good condition. Selling one and keeping another.
This is a one touch but AFD version. note that there are 3 versions of one touch, with the 2nd having ED glass, and the 3rd having ED glass and AFD
specification. Hence this version is different, better and newer than those 2nd version ones ppl are throwing out cheaply. Compared to it the crumpled
coating covers more area, giving better feel. In terms of focus speed and design it is similar and just as good as the current 80-200 2 touch. only losing
out in having the tripod collar. This set i have was bought from a lens collector and in totally MINT condition. Plus from my test it is very sharp wide open
F2.8, even with a kenko tele plus 2X TC at 400f5.6 its still sharp. Interested buyers welcomed to give it a try. Selling at $900.

8. AIS 50mm F1.4 (manual lens)
Good old prime lens. Metal and glass, small but very solid and heavy. The lens gives very sharp images and good for taking in low light condition. The
aperature blades structure together with large aperture gives very nice bokeh for closeup and portrait shooting. Please do not compare this with the AFD 50mm
f1.4... one is from a generation of master craftsmen in japan polishing lens to perfection before selling in limited amounts, the other is mass produced in
some china factory today.
Built, construction and quality totally different. AF is convenient but purely for image quality the Manual len is still superior. good condition.
Selling at $350
Known to be better than the AFD 50mm F1.4, especially at wide open. The bokeh and very thin depth of feel gives a really nice effect. In the above shot at
wide open F1.4, the focus is on the thin black wire. The thin DOP makes the wire really "pops" out in the shot. I dont have a ready model to shoot, but for
the portrait lovers out there... This will definitely make the shot.
9. AF 50mm f1.8 non D made in Japan in good condition
This is the very very first version 50f1.8 AF with the clear window like the other primes. I would much prefer if they kept the design this way to be uniform
with all the other primes 20/24/28/35/50f1.4/60/85 and so on but i guess to cut cost they had to use the more plastic design.
Performance wise of cos its very sharp even at f1.8 as well.
This is a collector's item at a collector's price. Selling at $250. If you are looking just to buy one for using pls go buy the plastic AFD at about 180.

11. AIS 100mm F2.8 E series
" The version introduced at early stage has similar appearance of other Series E optic. It does not has a meter coupling prong on the aperture ring. The
aperture ring and focusing ring was a square plastic grip design with 4 rows for the focusing grip. They are all matte finished externally and distance
scales are conceal, displaying distance info in another separate rotating ring. The positive aspect of the lens is its light weight (only 215g) and
compactness. The depth of field scales are also very well illustrated. And most of all, the lens is a Ai-S-spec lens in nature. The second upgraded version
has improved its handling by adding an Aluminum aperture ring and the four rows square grips have been reverted back to a more welcoming Nikkor's rubberized
grip design.
However, despite its lack of quality finishes in its construction, optically this lens exhibits an entirely different impression. It is sharp and images are
uniformly maintaining very high contrast for all apertures. The f/2.8 maximum aperture provides is quite adequate for general available light photography and
it also provides a reasonably good manipulation of depth of field control control. Given its optical performance and affordable cost entry (especially the
used ones). This lens is a very good alternative to other excellent Nikkor optic at this specific focal length. "
This lens is abit plastic outside compared to the 105f2.5 but supposingly they follow the same optical formula and this lens thus produce very nice portraits
as well.
Lens in totally MINT condition. Selling $220.
Built with similar optics design as the 105F2.5, the 100mm gives very sharp shots even at wide open.The telelens effect allows for isolation of subject.
20. 105F2.5 AIS (with built in hood), used but not abused condition (some wear of coating at back of lens, and rubber of focus ring came off, replaced with gaffer tape)
The 105 is the first lens that attracted me to nikon manual lens years ago. As we had discussed here..
