105 F1.8 AIS (62) MANUAL FOCUS TELEPHOTO LENS

Shown above is not the actual lens.

One of nikon's legend as well. The 105F2.5 is already world famous, but the F1.8 is still one level higher, one full stop more to be exact. This little monster is in the same league as lenses such as the nikon 85f1.4 and 135F2. The depth of field and bokeh is really crazy, and i mean it. take a shot of any model with it at F1.8, you will be amazed how the background just totally blurs out with that extremely creamy bokeh. Even the newer 105 DC is only F2 not F1.8. Also note its beautiful 9 blades aperture, to produce the very nice circular spots of light in the bokeh at night, few nikons used it. sigma and canon only use 8blades max. Another beauty about the lens is the wide open sharpness as long in correct focus, giving you results that see no point in stopping down. Note that even the expensive AF version is only F2.0, not a F1.8... From what i know, none of the 2nd hand stores locally even have stock for a used piece right now.
