outstanding image good focus But I think you would get good results with the bottom of a coke bottle

I can tell that this is a superior optic, Mark. I had the 85mm f/1.8 AF, also a fine lens. Those older Nikon lenses have sure gone up in price. I was getting some good buys, but not recently.

This color rose always makes me want to go get some orange sherbet! That lens performs very well!
