Which camera are you using?
I have a few MF lenses myself. A shitty crap one (Nikkor 35mm f2.8, probably the only lens worse is the Nikon 35mm f2.5 E, which really is a joke). A pretty nice Nikkor-H 85mm f1.8 (nice bokeh), the underrated Nikkor-Q 135mm f3.5 (the pre-AI, the Ai version has better coatings so will do better shooting against the light) which renders nicely and is very sharp, the micro Nikkor AUTO 35mm f3.5 and the Micro Nikkor 55mm f2.8 AI-S (both very fine macro lenses and the latter also a fine standard lens) and a Nikkor 50mm f2 (just a sharp little standard prime). I bought a Canon FL 55mm f1.2, and am waiting for it to be shipped/delivered. It will need a conversion.
And I have the very UNaffordable fixed focus Ultra Micro Nikkor 55mm f2 and Ultra Micro Nikkor 28mm f1.8. Those are not for the fainthearted.
