I'm still waiting on my Extreme to be delivered, hopefully not too much longer!!
Anyway, I'm running a DVX100 with Letus Extreme & Nikon Mount. I currently have the following lenses and I'm after any recommendations for another purchase?

Zeiss Planar 85mm 1:1.4
Nikon AIS 50mm 1:1.8
Nikon AIS 28mm 1:2.8
Nikon E 50mm 1:1.8

I'm probably after something to follow the 85mm bewteen 100mm and 200mm to complement my set. Any suggestions or personal experience with particular glass would be great :)

I have a NIKON 35mm AIS, 2.0 in excellent condition for sale. It's in excellent shape. Also, the lens that is a must have is the Nikon 135mm 2.0. Unbelievable contrast, sharpness, etc. Perhaps my favorite for closeup work (keeping mine). Barrel is big and breathing minimal. Can't say enough about this lens. The other lens worth looking into is the 105 macro. I use it for ultra close stuff (lips, eyes, etc). It's contrast doesn't match as well as the other Nikon lineup. Wouldn't recommend it for normal photog if continuity is critical. Phenomenol for CU's on ants.

Thanks guys for the info thus far, I've had a good bit of info to read about.
Also, would it be worth using a 2X teleconverter with my 85mm f1.4 to get a 170mm lens?? What would the aperture change to??
