I don't know if these represent a step down or maybe a step-side. but they're
possibly the finest glass you can buy in F mount:

24/2.8 (either AIS or AF-D - in my wish list)
35/1.4 (AIS - I own it, and it's superb)
55/3.5 micro (AI/AIS - in my wish list)
85/1.4 (either AIS or AF-D - the 1.8 is in my wish list, this one is too
expensive)
105/2.5 (AIS - I own it, and it's superb)
180/2.8 (ED AF-D)
300/4.5 (AI/AIS)
