The other problem I forgot to mention with the 85/1.4 AF-D, is that,
like the 28/1.4 and other nikkors of similar age, is that the AF/MF
switch is a clutch ring that typically breaks at the mounting screws.
This results in the ring going loose.  This ring can no longer be
purchased for the 28/1.4 and now that the 85/1.4 AF-D is out of
production, parts are likely to become scarce and this ring may become
unavailable for the 85/1.4 AF-D.  Another reason to like the AiS or
get the AF-S G.
