55mm f/1.2 AI is good. Personally I prefer wider so my fav is the 20mm f/4 AI. They're really small and really cheap right now, and super sharp. Also u should get a grip for that bad boy. They make really nice metal/wood ones in china that screw into the tripod socket, they look good and make them handle so much better. Most of them have an arca swiss plate built in too. The one I have for my F2's even has spare battery storage inside.

>What are the absolute best lenses I can put on this thing If money is no object, go Zeiss. The ZF.2 manual focus zeiss lenses are probably the best thing you can get on Nikon F, but the native glass is good enough for film. They have normal AI-S support and a physical aperture ring so they work fine. Only thing that sucks is they don't have bunny ears, so you can't use them with the non-ai finders, which is shame because the AI info display fucking sucks. That little window that shows your f stop via the lens, that shit sucks. Because the non-ai finders like the DP-1 have an actual control arm that couples and adds resistance to your aperture ring, theres a display wheel inside the finder that is turned similar to the shutter speed display. The AI aperture display seemed like such an afterthought.

If it's the 50 Series E, those were not crappy.

Yeah i misread, still the D700 and D3/D4 are great machines, i do not know how you would dislike them aside from the cheap grip material. D850 is also good but they chassis doesn't feel as good.

The 105/2.5 gets commonly recommended for a good reason.
