Interesting.

I really like "old style" non AF lenses, specially in the longer focal lengths. A lot of the work I do lends itself to manual focussing, and the old style lenses seem to be lower geared and smoother, if you know what I mean. Using AF lenses on manual is just not as precise.

I loved the translation of reader's comments under the article...literal but hard to follow!

YES!
Or ....."Given the price and the image quality of the Nikon 85mm ED lens geometry would pearls before the swine threw the Voigtländer buy!"

I just love that "pearls before swine" bit...very biblical!
