Are you going to get a manual lens just for the sake of getting one? If so, then I think you shouldn't. Modern lenses are much better optimised than the older manual lenses and you can always focus manually if there is a need to. If you really really want a manual lens for some reason or another, then you may want to consider Carl Zeiss ZF lenses.

Nikkor Noct and Carl Zeiss ZF lens good go for it.

nikkor 45 p is available in the major cameras shops in HK but only a handful quantity. That was about 5 weeks ago last I went

105mm f/2.5 AI-S
75-150mm f/3.5 AI-S E
Nikkor-P 105 mm f/4
Nikkor-P 42mm f2.8

or a 105 f/1.8 AIS lens

longkangman · 24th May 2006

500mm P lens.

Ramius · 24th May 2006

Provided of course, you can find these. I've been on the lookout for months for these @ reasonable price and condition. Also recommend Nikkor 20mm AIS, found one in HK but the diaphragm was scratched. Oh well, just keep looking

what so difficult

28 2.8 AIS

I bought the voigtlander 40mm f2. Its a joy to behold and use. The build is fantastic and the picture are sharp and bokeh is like water color.
