Yes, maybe there are some LUGers using Nikons for tele lenses:

85/1.8 was made in 1964-1977 A legendary lens, very good wide open. I still
have it!
85/2.0 was produced during 1977-1988. Avoid it, it is a true low-contrast
dog...
85/1.4 A very good lens, but sensitive to flare
AF 85/1.8 Very good, like the first version. I have got that one too.
AF 85/1.4 Brand new. Performance like the manual variant.
