My old Nikon F2 came with a highly regarded Nikon 105mm lens, but I thought I might not be able to use it on my Nikon FE because the lens had an old-style mount. However, I found a little button on the camera mount that let me flip the little meter coupling tab out of the way. You can then mount the lens and manually adjust the shutter and aperture, and the dof preview button can be used for stop-down metering. I'm looking forward to getting to know this lens better.

The 105 Nikkor is a classic! If I didn't love my 85/1.4 so much, I'd go looking for one.
Looking forward to more from you with this lens.
I was pretty pleased with these portraits. I also got some interesting results shooting near the river. The 105 focal length is a nice change of pace and a help in seeing familiar subjects in new ways.
It's one of my favorite lenses and you are doing great things with it!
I'm a real beginner with the Nikon, so I'm glad there are some folks nearby who can provide some guidance. I found some Nikon lenses today at an estate sale, but they were priced beyond what I'm willing to pay. I'd like to get a 135, but what I have already is pretty good.
