received my nikon 135mm dc on friday and have been playing with it this weekend. today with my granddaughter as a test subject i put the lens to the test. first without moving the dc ring and focusing on the eye using a tripod from f2 thru f8 (as far as i went) the lens was damn sharp. i could see every lash and even the reflections in her eyes were sharp. when i kept the dc ring equal to or less than the f stop used it was biting sharp. but what i really loved was the greta garbo look. if i put the dc ring at say 5.6 and shot at f3.3 the face showed a glow and a soft focus similar to the way greta garbo looked in her movies. and as a straight short tele lens it is a great fast lens. in the few days i have had it i can see it will have many uses for me.
