[@LukeAyers]

Wow nice one

[@caesar8337]

I have the same one. I have used it on a cropped sensor with no motor for autofocus but it's lovely.

[@LukeAyers]

Awesome!!

Your videos are really helpful, Luke. I have the 35-70mm f/2.8 D version. It is a trully great lens. By the way, I clicked on the link to your website, but it seems to have expired with Squarespace.

Thanks for the heads up Dick. And glad you like the videos

Hello Luke. What kind of background are you using?

[@LukeAyers]

Privet. It’s a $50 textured backdrop from Kate Backdrops

[@user-kp5vb9ut2n]

Thank you!

[@Igryan8]

Will this work on D3200?

[@LukeAyers]

Unfortunately it won’t. I mean it will fit on the camera yes but it won’t autofocus since that model doesn’t have the built-in mechanism to focus these older Nikon lenses

[@Igryan8]

@@LukeAyers Thank you.
