Pros: Small, lightweight, 7-blade diaphragm and unimaginable quality

Cons: I don't know what to say to an optician that costs a few tens of euros

Opinion: Got it three days ago to use it with the Nikon Scope Converter. Paid a ridiculous amount of money because the focus ring is a bit hard. I was able to get it repaired (fortunately) at a great price, so it couldn't get any better than this. I tried it on the Df and... WOW... A sharpness I never imagined. Since it is a cheap series, I had never considered it, not even 40 years ago. I mounted the HN-8 lens hood on it and on the Df it looks great. Very satisfied

Pros: Fifty size, featherweight, manual focus, optical and mechanical quality, negligible cost

Cons: nothing

Opinion: I agree with all the comments that have been made before me. Compared to the classic 105 2.5 ai-s, this one loses something in terms of optical performance, but it is even smaller, lighter, smoother and pleasant to handle. And here we come to the substance of the matter. A 100 mm 2.8 as small and light as a fifty, of excellent mechanical quality and more than decent optical quality, which can be purchased for 100 euros, really makes you think. Focus? If you don't do weddings or sports photography for a living, but you are a normal amateur photographer, even more so of landscape, what is the problem of focusing by hand? Carpal tunnel? Short-sightedness? Manual focus, for me, is pure enjoyment, like deciding shutter speeds and apertures the old-fashioned way. It's not that thirty or forty years ago we didn't know how to take good pictures. And in my opinion, the more action is left to the manual skills of the photographer, the more fun and satisfaction there is in photographing, and if you take some photos, so be it. But here we enter the subjective and everyone is free to believe that they cannot do without the latest huge, superstabilized, tropicalized, razor-sharp, very heavy and very expensive zooms that are close to them choosing the subject to photograph and the time to do it with artificial intelligence. Also there: I own two old tiny nikkor zooms, the 28-80 f/3.3-5.6 G and the 35-80 f/4-5.6 AF D which cost a few tens of euros and weigh less than 200 grams, of disconcerting optical quality in relation to weight and cost... Basically, with three small fixed cameras such as the 100 2.8, the 50 1.4/1.8 (or the 35/2) and the 24 2.8, one mounted and the other two in your pocket, you go away comfortable and relaxed with everything you need in 90% of cases, you spend a chip, you take reasoned and good quality photos, you move a little to choose the shots and you certainly have more fun than being Sherpas with backpacks full of the latest glass that you "must" use to delude yourself into thinking you can make sense of the mortgage payments needed to buy them (I'm not talking about professionals, of course). Then, for heaven's sake, the combinations are countless, but undoubtedly this 100 is incompatible with almost all zooms that would involve an overlap, or almost, of focal length, and in my opinion it makes sense to combine only with fixed ones.

Pros: f2.8, 6 cm long, 200g, 52mm filters, done as Nikon did the lenses last millennium, sharp already from f2.8, no distortions, excellent backlight resistance, damn discreet, simple and effective optical scheme, infinite hard-stop in the MAF, the II series has the diaphragm with 7 straight slats that produces beautiful stars.

Cons: light chromatic aberrations, solvable by advanced bodies or in PP

Opinion: He is literally the unlucky brother of the 105 2.5 ai-s. Slightly inferior optically it is a little lighter, more compact and in the second-hand market it is found at less. You start to understand us about photography, don't you have too many pretensions and holed pockets? This is the medium bright canvases that suits you. At concerts it does not disfigure and is only one stop darker than the 50 and 35, offering at least twice the focal length, but sacrificing autofocus. I don't even bring up the 80-200 2.8 that are big, heavy, expensive and tacky, or the 85 1.8 that people keep them tight and are not always easy to find used. Last thing that can go unnoticed, but that I appreciate a lot: on the aluminum ring, at least in the II series, there is a small stud to indicate the high while mounting it on the body, very useful for making a lens change in the dark (type in the theater or during the star sessions)

Pros: Light, compact, high-performance, f/2.8, easy to use.

Cons: Nobody.

Opinion: For me this lens is an exceptional project that would have deserved even an AIS version. A 100 mm f/2.8 so compact and high-performance makes me think that to have excellent optics you do not need to have certain dimensions, weights and ... related costs. Let's talk about a canvas that weighs 200 grams with filters of 52. Manual focus, sure: precise and fluid dial, simple and perfect mechanics. I do not understand that there is another 100 mm with these characteristics.

Pros: lightweight, compact, bought 120 EUR almost new.

Cons: lack diaphragms automation.

Opinion: Excellent product, very light and compatto.Se while plastic offers the alternative to my Samyang 85 mm for lightweight and small (though with some point less for quality ... but not too much!), Then combined with 50mm and 24mm it is a good alternative both for quality and for weight to zoom tradizionali.Non regret the lack of autofocus ... indeed!
