Manual focus with Nikkor 85mm f1.8

This 1977 lens was adapted to my Olympus OM-D recently. I soon find it that it is one of my favorite lens.  Although I find the manual focus may be slower, but with practice, it seems  to be able to capture the moments as per auto focus too. I uses the 2x magnifier or the 5x manual focus assist on the OM-D.

Due to the 85mm(170mm in 35mm for m4/3) focal length and wide aperture, the images it produce is quite outstanding. It is longer than my 45mm or 60mm.  I love fixed-focal length as it force me to see my objects as per the lens character.
