The Nikon ambassador Vincent Versace has also posted several photos taken with the new Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED lens on his Facebook page. From his own words:
“The sharpest and by far the prettiest bokeh of any lens I have ever shot with.”
“The 105mm F 1.4 has to be the most beautiful lens I have ever shot.”
Update: the photos are also available on flickr.
Here are the pictures with commentary:

“Look to the East” by Michael Dees (website | Instagram | 500px):
It’s probably not customary to write a guest post about a dear love of mine. It would seem incongruous with the technical jargon of the Bayer pattern, to speak of the affections, would it not? Not to mention the fact that, as a Nikon aficionados and photography enthusiasts, many would spend their time elsewhere, rather than reading an autobiographical account of a loved one in my life. I say this by way of introduction to prepare the reader for a mix of sorts: a mix of technology, of art, and as noted, of tender sentiments.
I suppose I’ve mislead you a bit for rhetorical flourish. It’s in this: that I speak of no person, but a place. Zion National Park is where I speak of, and in particular, of the East side of this spectacular park in Southwest Utah. The East side of the park is, literally, a less sheer beauty than the more popular Zion Canyon. The altitude changes are more gradual and the landscape more curvy. Make no mistake that the canyon that the Virgin River has carved over so many years has beauty unparalleled. It’s breathtaking and awesome. The East side, however, has a more tranquil appeal to it.
Dom Stefanik had the chance to try for a very short time the new Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED lens and sent me those two sample photos – they are nothing special, but I hope to get more soon:
I received information that the iOS version of SnapBridge will be released at the end of August (will be available for download at the App Store).
The Android version was already released back in April. Nikon has been working together with Apple on SnapBridge for a long time (I first reported it in March, 2015).
Nikon SnapBridge is compatible with all of the latest cameras: W100, A300, B500, B700, A900, DL and D500.
All future Nikon cameras will be compatible with SnapBridge
