This is a nice overview of top Nikon F-mount lenses. The 85, 105 and 180-400 definitely fall into the Exotics class, like the 300/2.8, 400/2.8 etc. There is, however, one lens that lords over these, and has ruled the Nikon roost since its inception: The 200mm F2. Few people have reviewed it because of its rarity, but it remains the sharpest telephoto Nikon produces, even 11 years after it came out. The use as a portrait monster, or a sports weapon on DX, is mesmeric. Only really Kai should be allowed to review it, but there is a risk of mental collapse when he sees the bokeh. Perhaps if Lok is ready with defibrillator and smelling salts it might be alright. Is it now time for the life affirming 200/2 review ???

I just bought the 85. Should be here tomorrow. So excited to finally have my own copy. It's my favorite lens. But I've never shot with the new 105.

Have you never used the lenses in this roundup or are you just being a hater? I'm not sure how you can argue against any of these lenses. I've done direct comparisons between the AIS versions of some of these and the G versions and in my experience the G versions are far superior in every measurable optical and ergonomic way. The only advantage of the older lenses is the manual focusing is much easier on the older metal body lenses. But the auto focusing is so accurate and fast nowadays that it's much more practical than MF. Also, it's a Nikon event. Of course they have all of the lenses there.

I had the AFS 80-200 the first silent wave and the one prior to that . Used it in combination with F4s and Metz flash Fuji provia 100 for years. The image quality to this day has always astonished me. I shoot mostly Leica M glass purely for weight porpoise. I still daydream of the 80-200 Nikkor when looking at those slides. For portraits even on a F4s the autofocus was plenty fast. I hate the F5 and the rest for digitally cluttering the viewfinder and Matt screen. I truly believe if you go up from the 80-200 the telephoto lenses 300 45600 are all next level. The wider lenses are a bit soft, but the tubes are just gorgeous.

You should also do a comparison of the: 1. Nikon 100mm f2.0 De-Focus AF-D Lens, does the De-Focus really help the Bokeh ? with the 2. Tokina 100mm f2.8 Macro SD AF-D lens, because of the special aperture the bokeh is phenominal. with the 3. Legendary 105mm f2.5 mm AF-D lens, the lens formula is the same as the legendary MF lens. If you were to include the; 4. Nikon 100 f2.8 Macro, and the; 5. Nikon 105 f1.4 lens, You could label it the 5 BEST NIKON LENSES, by Order of Sharpness, Bokeh & Price !

As far as my personal experience, I do think that the Nikon manual AI and AIS Lenses are one of the best lenses in the photo market. Not everybody would be able to spend loads of money for these lenses. I have been buying used lenses at very good and excellent condition. I have three Nikon automatic lenses and 7 Nikon manual lenses. 18-35mm, 28-105mm macro, Two 50mm, 28mm, 35mm, 70-300mm, 35-70mm, 200mm, and a 55mm Micro lens. I have a quite a small collection here. The 28-105mm macro lens was purchased brand new. Cheers!

Have you any idea how ridiculous what you have just written is. Every part of your statement is actually wrong. The pixel pitch of the D500 sensor is actually exactly the same as the new D850 and produces an image that has just as much quality. In fact in sports shooting where the image is mostly cropped, the image on the sensor is exactly the same size. Light grasp of a lens is irrelevant, the light is spread over a larger area, the illumination per pixel is the only measure of any relevance and its the same for either sensor. In fact you get faster lenses for smaller sensors so the opposite is true. What has the aperture blades got to do with it????? Gawd where does this drivel come from, not from the manufacturers - sheesh
