I managed to pick up a Nikon 100mm F2.8 E-Series lens yesterday. Cost was the equivalent of a bit over $16 USD!!!

Haven't tried it yet, but it looks nice!!

Does anyone have this lens?

I have it. It is a very good lens. Excellent value for the price.

I'll second Orio here although mine doesn't get used too much as I also have the 105mm F2.5

Great price!

I owned one years ago, and I liked it a lot. But like Scott, I also owned (still do) a 105/2.5, so I sold it.

I've got one (it was 'thrown in' as part of a deal buying two Leitz lenses); it is a nice lens, but I don't use it much, since I prefer the Leitz Elmarit-R 90mm (or Nikkor 85 f/1.4).

I've got one too. Feels cheap because of the plastic construction but very good performances. Light, small and sharp wide-open. One of the lenses I always keep in my bag.

They say this is one of the hidden gems of lens history!

Amazing little lens for price/quality performance. If you dont like the plastic try the Kaleinar 100/2.8, which is just as cheap, supposed to be a copy and built like a tank. Performs well too
