TELL A STORY
Classic Lenses like the NIKON AIS 105mm f/1.8 were made for Black & White photography. Although this digital image was simply digitally desaturated, the image is still exactly what this lens was crafted to do.

PORTRAIT EXCELLENCE
The skin (fur?) tones and subject separation this lens renders are unique to the 105mm lens genre and will help you to create a truly classic and one of a kind portrait. In this photo, the superior Bokeh shows one of several features that made this lens an industry standard for so many decades.

SHARP BUT CLASSIC
This Lens is inherently sharp, even at it's widest aperture. For these sample images, all were shot at f/1.8 to show the true capability of this lens even at its most open setting.

QUALITY
This lens does far more than portraits. Whatever you choose to do with your images, the image quality comes first. Even an ordinary or less than ideal photographic composition can be turned into pleasing art if the image is high quality.
This rather boring shot of a dock got a bit more interesting with a few common digital adjustments. Now its art instead of a deletion!!

FUN
Even though making images you love usually involves some work, taking a classic lens along can make it FUN. The art form of photography is more than the sun of its parts. The images in this gallery were all shot on a short family outing at a public park on the same day.

HANDS CREATE
On this family outing, someone decided to play in the mud. Just as hands create mud sculpture, they also create a great photographic subject.
