More an equipment test than anything serious ... I spent time this weekend exploring how to use this lovely 1969ish Nikkor 85mm lens and admiring its imaging qualities.

The field of view/depth of field characteristics on this camera are just about identical to what my old Nikkor 180/2.8 provided on the F3. No, it's not my car. ;-) Godfrey -- http://godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
