From time to time someone voices an opinion like "the Nikkors produce a brittle" or "they show bad bokeh". I have some Nikkors for which this is certainly true (20/2.8 AIS, 35/2 AIS, 85/1.8 AF). Others like the 55/2.8 Micro AIS, the 105/4 Micro AIS and the 180/2.8 AF IF-ED produces images that are very similar to those of my Leica M lenses. However, mixing images from these two manufacturers´ lenses in a slide show you quickly realize that the Nikkors exhibit a much warmer color rendition.
