Hi!
Just received this beautiful piece of glass and metal! I must say than I was absolutly not searching for this lens (I have already much more than enough lenses Embarassed .....) but when I saw the advertising on a french photo forum, the lens was in so good condition and the price was "correct" (especially compared to the overpriced from e-bay), I just could not resisted and decided to buy it....It still be an expensive lens and I'm not sure that the IQ is on the same level as the price but it's stay anyway a good investment I guess as collector item......
Ok, here are my first (indoor) shots with this lens mount on the D700:
all wide open (except # 2 & 3 @ f/4), almost no PP....
1/

crop 100%:

Hope you enjoy!

Wow Pascal, what a lens ! I like the bokeh - very smooth and perfect. Great lens and congrats for your find. Hopefully we will see some outdoor shots asap.

Superb lens, a great photographer! Using a tripod, I guess judging from the subject movements.

Great catch!

Thanks also pat, very kind from you Embarassed ....but I don't think I'm a "great photographer", I'm just a photo hobbyist and a MF lens lover Very Happy !

It says Apo and it surely shows that. My favourite is #4, I really like the bokeh in that shot.
