Duc, did you pp your images or were they straight from RAW?


Hi Graham, I shot RAW and the only PP I did was to bump up a bit of contrast in LR3.

Shot raw at f2.5 with a small contrast boost. Have you used yours for street shots at all? I note you may have the Sonnar version with a different optical scheme...is your lens non-ai?


Yes, it's a Non-AI version hence Sonnar design.

I guess you didn't look at the earlier posts.

Here's a link to a picture of a Nikon NIKKOR 105 mm f/2.5. Look at the aperture ring. It's not an Ai lens. Nikon tells us (look at the links in my earlier post) that this lens is a Xenotar. So Non-ai does not mean that the lens is a Sonnar.

Pictures of your lens are given in your link. Look at the serial number, the colour (black barrel not silver), the name on the name ring (Nikon not Nippon Kogaku Japan). And then look at Roland Vink's site - including the pictures (click on the focal length/aperture numbers highlighted in blue). What do you think you've got ? Sonnar or Xenotar ?


I'll check it out tonight when I get home from work.
