  Dear Luggers,

  Ok, I know this is the LEICA list, I have Leicas, I Love Leicas,  but I 
should agree that 85/1.4 D Nikkor is the Best !!!
  In fact 85/1.4 D Nikkor is the "Queen" of my studio, the lens that is 
always mounted on my F5.
  Even having the 135/2 D, the 85 is the one I use most.

  Best wishies to all,
