That's a great lens for the Ds, since it gives you a stout manual focus
barrel combined with full metering capability. Just think how much You
would have to pay for a 1.4 portrait lens for a 35mm film camera. That
can make anyone smile.

Today I received a gorgeous A50/1.4 from Don Sanderson Enterprises, aka

is
my first A series lens (except for a few of the fancy A* lenses), and
it
completes my collection of manual focus 50mm/1.4 optics. I'm so
pleased I
just had to share my enthusiasm with the list. The hood from the
105mm/2.8
Takumar is a nice fit for this one. Doesn't vignette on film or digi.
I've not tried the hood from the 135/3.5 Takumar, which I think will
work
fine with the digi, but which is a little long and not quite as nice
looking on the camera.
Should be fun comparing this with the M and K versions ;-))
