Not with a Nikon (1Ds2) but the more I use the older glass (especially Mamiya) the more I like them. Mamiya 80/1.9 compressed all to hell for web. A large print on VFA just glows (and the colors are more accurate than the post-compression jpeg) and the subtle texture of the paper, while hidden under the ink, gives a nice sense of depth to the print. Ya have to love semi-comatose models when you're playing with a new lens :>
Unfortunately given my slightly raised position relative to my 'model', I misplaced the point of focus just a hair (no pun intended) too far aft of the camera side of his right eye. Made mistake of using focus confirm dot instead of Mark 1 eyeball.
On the lens side, love the Mamiya 55/2.8, 80/1.9, 150/3.5 and 200/2.8 APO - who knows what's next. Have yet to be disappointed with any of the M645 lenses. The Hassy 110/2 was just as sweet.
