Nikkor 135/2
Until recently I've been a "Nikon man" since 1967. I bought this lens secondhand some 25 years ago, and in spite of it being a vintage jewel it hasn't been much used. For the kind of shooting I'm mostly doing in my retirement days, all my Nikon lenses are near useless, as more than 50 years as a cinematographer have made it impossible for me not to get confused by their "wrong way focusing". So when someone showed interest in the 135/2, I put it on my A7II and went into my garden. My first reaction was; "how could I ever dream of parting with this lens?" This shot is nowhere near perfect as neither the bee nor its' cousin is really in focus - but I like it! The decision to part with the lens suddenly became difficult . . .
