is it the 85 AF-D Woody?

If I understand the Nikon lens lineup the 85 AFD is an f1.8. I'm using the current version of the 85mm f1.4. A new version has just been announced by Nikon - Nikon claims that it has better bokeh. If this turns out to be true I'll trade - I use this lens a lot - almost always wide open in poor light (like these two examples).

An amazing image Woody. And, based on the description on your blog, somewhat disturbing. I can understand now why hyenas are so feared.

I'm -really- not too good with nomenclature, but as i understand it both 1.8 and 1.4 were "D" lenses.
Yes apparently the new 85mm AF-S is much better and not only for bokeh. First images available look very promising.

MHC: Nicely done. I like the composition, angle and the colors in the first. :thumbup:
Jorgen: Terrific photos from Singapore. The "jump" is very cool, but "street photo" is my favorite. I, also, understand the streets are clean enough to sit on. :thumbup:
Steen: Great light and focus. Just the right amount of light on the face. :thumbup:
Corlan/Steen/et al: Very erudite discussion (above my pay grade, though). Thank you, gentlemen. :salute:
Jorgen: "Tooth sticks"? The lesson here is always travel with a pair of chopsticks. Although, they'd be confiscated by TSA, if you were flying here.
Rayyan: Ramadan kareem. Breathtaking, iconic, colorful, photo of one of my favorite places on earth. Welcome back.
Woody: Nice mix of excellent photos Really like the beton brut airplane hanger. 18 stitches! :thumbup:
Steen: Well lit photo of the sculpture! :thumbup:
Rayyan: That's a lot of rebar for a house! You know that they make power tools to bend it?
Cheers, Matt

You can eat soup from the streets in Singapore. Not a spec of dust in sight. Bacteria are stopped at the border :lecture:

Perfect composition Jorgen. And I love the b/w conversion.

Thanks, Lloyd. The lens, the Tamron 24-135mm, is one of the stranger options around. On DX, it really sucks above 80mm, is acceptable from 35-80, but between 24 and 35mm, it's unbelievably sharp, even wide open. I was going to take the GH1 to S'pore, but a couple of hour before departure, I found out that I had forgotten the OM/m43 adapter in my father's house, so had to take what was available, the S5 with 105mm f/1.8 and the Tamron. It doesn't matter of course, any camera/lens will do.
