This is an odd lens. Its macro setting actually focuses pretty close. At 35mm, I find it really difficult to focus. At 200mm, it is so extended that light pressure on the barrel can cause one side of the frame or the other to be slightly out of focus. But it's built fairly well and relatively versatile, and -- my key virtue -- cheap. The last frame is straight out of the camera.

One more shot with the 35-200mm. In July, we were getting amazing sunsets in Seattle caused by the wildfires in Siberia sending smoke all the way across the Pacific. I shot this at Gasworks Park in Seattle. I didn't really notice all the little "stories" going on in the frame until I got home and started looking. This ran on the cover of msnbc.com just before it was renamed to NBCNews.com.

I love the last one. I think the ones on the left are all standing around talking about AF gear.

Over the years, I've taken as many photos with the 35-200mm Nikkor as with any other manual focus lens. It's just wonderful. I have three copies of it now -- one is pretty beat up, and I use that if I think the conditions might be harsh. I know some folks have had a different experience with it, which I think goes to show how important finding a good copy of any lens is.
