hehehehehe!!!

Thanks to Ken you may be able to flip it for a profit?

The best is actually the nikkor 135mm f2 ais….trust me, try it out

Thanks. But Ken is never boring.

Thank you that's 10mn I wait to get that

thank you!

Thank you ! 🙏

Thank you!

heheheheh!!!!!!!!

such a shame there are no more good ones out there

DFRANCO no. Average is $450

Can you send me a link then as I would love to buy this lens.

that lens costs a shitton, the f2 300mm, and i have used it.

Brilliant, when you do get your hands on it again we would love to see some samples, it must be magical.

also a killer lens, 135mm f2 DC better of course, but costs much more. got both

The 135mm f2 ais is really special, I am surprised Ken missed it

top 10 for what

I was thinking a list of top 10 regardless of camera. I went back and saw where you had done a few vids of the best lenses for certain cameras. BUT.. You stated numerous time what a lens. .sl×t you are. ..lol. so I thought you would have 10 favs... photographers. ... worse than a bunch of pilots... like the old joke, You go to a party, how do you know who's a pilot(photographer)? Answer: They will tell you. You guys are so touchy touchy touchy... how about a single lens.... 1 regardless of platform. ... just the one lens - stuck on a desert island. ... just one. ..

Hey, thanks, I didn't find that one earlier, great video. .. I think his head was actually bigger then..... LOL#

top 10 for what????

i said the XT2 is my fave camera :)

hehehe, nahhhh japan has plenty

fuji 90 f2 is the best for fuji cameras

i own tons of diff 85mm, more than anyone, including exotic crap, but honestly i prefer 100-105mm better

I sold those exact same lenses on eBay about a year ago..... probably to you lol

@@RodrigoAReyes95 oh wow! If the lens isnt set correctly on the 105 then, yes, I bought them. I kept the 105 and sold the other two lenses.

repro work, 60mm 2.8 D AF

@@KenTheoriaApophasis thankyou. I will buy lens suggested by you for taking photos of my paintings.

oh hell yes it will work

@@KenTheoriaApophasis what do you think of the NIKON 35mm PC lens?

Do you have an opinion of the Nikkor 3m PC?

Error 35mm PC

Jamaican blue mountain :P. cheap and dirty drip, or the french press i got last month

Theoria Apophasis indonesia luwak coffee made by cat poop coffee. You must try this.

will taste this J.B.M. Coffee today at a local cafe here, and revert

Jamaican Blue Mountain is EXCELLENT!!!!!!! I live in Kona (Big Island, Hawaii) up in the coffee country and know Good Coffee so that says a lot! I really enjoy certified organic grown, and my friend has a farm in much lower altitude than most here, in Kealakekua, and the lower altitude, the higher the caffeine content!!!! His takes so few beans to grind and brew a pot, and it has a natural sweet taste, almost like tea with honey!!!! Amazing!!!!! Organic grown has a distinct lack of any bitter aftertaste, and it just rocks!! BTW, thanks for your advise! I have bought many lenses based on your recommendations, and just at sunset last night, I was shooting with both the Voigtlander 58 f 1,4 noct and Tokina 100mm f 2.8 macro, and those lenses are just incredible! So much better than so many other supposedly "Excellent" lenses in so many regards! And the sharpness and clarity in such clear atmospheric conditions like we had yesterday eve are mind blowing, especially noticeable if you enlarge to 100% + compared to other lenses! Thanks so much!!!!! Wish I could send you a lb. of some of my favorite kona coffee!? My 2 friends farms are certified organic, and they have both won the Kona coffee "cupping contest" numerous years!!!! Aloha from Hawaii Ken! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

UR asking the wrong guy on canon glass

I'm in market for buying either D700 or D7100, very tough choice ! is killing me !

thank you

Get the D700 you won't regret it. I also own a d500 (awesome wildlife beast) but for landscapes and people photos the d700 wins hands down. Don't worry about the 12MP either - you can still print big!

you know what happened Andrew? I bought both ! lol

Edward Hines I bet I'm saving up for them

this cost a LOT more, and is a LOT bigger,.....this is a better lens in sharpness and saturation, but both are awesome

for portraiture, this lens.... however this is a MF lens... the tokina is bit sharper however

THX bro ... u rock!

skarmarl . I own both lenses. Both are great but if I had to keep only one it would be the 105 2.5.

ohhh i answered that below several times :)

stolen!!!! a thief who knows quality :/

Not the lens alone, it went with my entire camera bag! Slowly building it back up though :)

17-55 f2.8 DX is a super duper lens!

YourVinylAddiction that stuff is junk

easy, tamron 15-30, its superior in every way. i own both

Theoria Apophasis...I thought so...thanks a lot for the reply.

Just bought...looking forward to play :)

Love it!! However at f2.8 and 15mm it has a bit of lens distortion. Agree or is it something wrong with my lens? Cheers Ken

its a wide angle zoom wide open ... itll have some distortion

kim mak nooooo not 1980 or 1970 lenses

Thanks for your reply... Good to know. I am spending on your channel more than Australian TV shows...ahah~~~

better bokeh, saturation, microcon., but this is a lens for diff purpose, of course, but both are crossovers to each other of course

Theoria Apophasis thank you I purchased the tokina for product photography and I'm very happy with it. I guess this is more of a portraiture lens. Win win

I love my 2.5 as well bought it the day AP did his afghan girl vid on it

this cost a LOT more, and is a LOT bigger,.....this is a better lens in sharpness and saturation, but both are awesome

Thank you Ken. The reason why I asked this question was that in an earlier video you had spoken very highly of the Nikon 105/2.5 and the famous Afghan Girl portrait of Steve McCurry!

ive got half a dozen of those, it doesnt compare, its got better saturation and quite a lot sharper but it costs nearly 3X as much and nearly 3X as big too.

i have that lens, hellllll no

I know you got the zeiss too.I want the zeiss...Its fucking pricey 1600 euros here.The new one milvus look like shit the colour and micro contrast though is exceptional, on a d850 this lens macro shots look like medium format.So you say no to zeiss 100mm f2 for portraits!

@@KenTheoriaApophasis I would actually love to hear what you think of this comparison, since I can get both of these, the zeiss 100mm f2 and the nikon 105mm f1.8 for about the same price (yes a ridiculously low price on the zeiss)

i saw that,.....well IM NOT selling any of em.

im using it ON a APSC fuji right now.... just diff crop factor, same lens, same image.

Have you tried this lens on the GFX yet? Been anxious to try my copy but haven't picked up an adapter yet.

thats a radical comparison.....so to say.... did you see the flickr page for the lens below? the 90mm is ultrasharp but clinical, this lens is divine for BW, and best straight out of camera (SOOC) saturated and bokeh superrich pics.

for what camera and budget

About $300 for a D3300.

ebay ehh? likely japan :)

Yep. US $429.99 from Japan :) Thanks Ken

likely youll get some SQUID JERKY with it, like i did years ago. ROFL

35mm mitakon, 58mm 1.4 Voigtlander....85mm mitakon 1.2 ...

whut?

Put this lense on a xt2 and then a d500 and make a video comparison which looks better. I hate fujifilm but i might get a xt2 if these lenses look good. If? Thanks 😗

I also think these 80s nikkor gems golden ice cream lenses make the best bokeh period. Long live nikonanf nikkor.🦇🐾🦃

hate fuji??ohhhhhhhhhhhh , theyre making the best cameras currently..... this lens is teh tits on the fujifilm , i even said that in this video rent a XT2 for 2 days to find out :)

nahhh, some of the german lenses make the best bokeh, old meyer optik, old pentax etc etc, fujinon
