… Appreciate that Alan. I am using almost exclusively the forty year old Nikon 105/2.5 AI. I am determined to get the best out of it- with modern technology and software. Using the Nikon D200 right now. And, actually just ordered a Nikon D610 to try it with a more modern CMOS sensor.
Good glass is almost timeless - sensors/camera bodies come and go. The bokeh comes from the lens and this one does a good job with it. Modern lenses do a good job with auto-focus features and image stability in some cases but the doesn't really sound like a concern you are trying to address with your photography.
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
