you're welcome. i'll endeavour to get out and make a couple of examples with the Tamron 2.5/28 and the Cosina 3.5/135 to post here this week.

So allow me to ask this; although most of us use AF camera and lenses, who still uses MF lenses on AF body's for the simple fact of good old glass ?

Me. I do. The 105mm F2.5. the 20mm F3.5, the 400mm F3.5 (when I get it!). The 20 is tiny, 52mm front; the 105 just has a gorgeous feel, if I want quick focus I'll slap on an 85mm F1.8.
400mm F3.5? Nothing like it on the market, and it's way easier to focus a long manual lens than a short one.

Guys I am so stoked, I am now looking to match a lens or two with a cherry Nikon FM3a, and retake a B&W film class. I love my digital AF and always will, but the re-introduction to the film and manual side of photography is just making me smile, making me think of places to shoot. :hug::

I use a 50mm manual, on my Nikon DSLR. Better feel more solid crisper images, and better depth of field control.
