B. D. I don't remember seeing any tests on the lens.

That raises a really interesting question concerning nostalgia v. reality. I remember the classic Nikon 105 2.5 as an absolute killer of a portrait lens, a lens so outstanding I have been tempted over the years to buy one of the old silver barrel ones. Does anyone know what tests of the lens might suggest? Is it as good as I remember it - or was it just outstanding in its day, which happened to be my late teens and 20s, a period in which pretty much everything was outstanding. :-) B.

Why wait? You can have your older Nikon lenses fitted with a chip which will allow them to be used on the latest Nikon digitals with all metering modes.
