I think it was most peoples favorite lens then who shot people, portraits, fashion in 35mm. Nikon owned the field then it seemed to me. I did the vast majority of my work with it, it was banged up and I bought it that way. The 105 mm f2.8 macro does not replace it it is too heavy to use as much. How many dandelions can you shoot! The 85 F2 would squash people on full length shots, I had to use the 105. But now I use the 90 Elmarit on my Leica M with the Leica Winder and it's a whole new ballgame. Mark Rabiner
