some more 135mm 1.8

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

some more 135mm 1.8

I had a bit of fun with the AI 135mm f/1.8 when I was in the shop today. Mounted on the D60 (so without metering) this lens makes for a very nice lightweight combination. Shooting at 800 ISO, f/2.8 and 1/100sec proved to do the trick for metering.

shame about the reflections

probably needs a bit more DOF

Cameron,

I assume that AI means no auto-focus or metering?

Looks like you are getting reasonable bokeh. It would be good to add some contrast in general.

I think composition-wise, these need to have the subject off center. #1 I would prefer the mouth to be excluded OR to be included completely.

No 2. How great is that DOF! nice shot and great old lens.

surenj... "In 1977 Nikon introduced a new system for coupling the lens to the cameras exposure system. This new coupling system was called "Automatic maximum aperture indexing" or "Ai" for short."
