I don't remember seeing any tests on the lens. But I did have one myself
and I remember the first time I got a look at my first slides made with it
and I was really amazed by the images it produced.

Damn! That raises a really interesting question concerning nostalgia v.
reality. I remember the classic Nikon 105 2.5 as an absolute killer of a
portrait lens, a lens so outstanding I have been tempted over the years
to buy one of the old silver barrel ones. Does anyone know what tests of
the lens might suggest? Is it as good as I remember it - or was it just
outstanding in its day, which happened to be my late teens and 20s, a
period in which pretty much everything was outstanding. :-)

Why wait?
You can have your older Nikon lenses fitted with a chip which will allow
them to be used on the latest Nikon digitals with all metering modes.
