Went down to the Oregon District in Dayton and did some shooting with my Nikon Series E Lens on my D3S. This lens has surprised the hell out of me. I got it from Goodwill attached to a Nikon FG camera for about $40.00.
For a manual lens this thing is great. I can't believe how sharp it is. I've been shooting with it for about a week now and it has not let me down. I've noticed that I've had to slow down my shooting to make sure that I have my setting right. I usually go out and burn off a hundred or so images but with this thing today I came back home with 36 images, some were duplicates because my settings were off. Out of those I uploaded the best 3 to my flickr account. You can check them out here.

Another thing I'd like to point out is, I don't believe in the golden hour for shooting outside. These were shot at 1:00 pm. You can tell by the shadows that it was early afternoon. It's ok to shoot at this hour if you take into account the position of the sun and use it to your advantage.
