I recently received a Nikon 28-100mm lens, which had it's first outing today on my D7000. I had to work out how to use it as I hadn't twigged it had no aperture ring (hey, I've never actually used an autofocus lens on a DSLR, why do you think I use Nikons*?), but I got there! Quite handy on moving objects and by going shutter priority I got a bit of prop blur. I'm happy - thanks, you know who you are! *Other than lugging them round is cheaper than gym fees

That Spitfire has a rather unfortunate number...

The owner hasn't tried it - besides, it has a tractor propellor on it, so it would only go backwards.

Looks like you had a grand day out.  I had one of these lenses years ago. Image quality was fine but I was rather less than impressed with the build quality - so much so that I even wrote to Nikon to say so... I suspect I was rather more used to the tank-like build of the old manual lenses. |

When you look at the Morris Six you can see how the Morris 1000 came into being can’t you? Natural evolution |

They were actually launched at the same Motor Show, Don, in 1948 - as well as the series MO Oxford that the Six was based on. It's got a longer schnozz because it's got a straight six engine under there. It's quite elegant, isn't it?

If optically it's anything like a Tamron 28-200 manual focus I owned and used in the late 1990s, the image quality falls off once you get past 100-130 mm. I still have a decent quality framed 36x24 inch Cibachrome print on my wall, produced from an Ektachrome 200 slide, using that lens at about 40 mm.
