The new 60mm f2.8 and 105mm VR lenses are great, but my personal favourite is the old 55mm f2.8 Ai-S manual focus lens made in 1979. It is an absolute stunner. It's a bit heavy due to its all metal construction, but that's what makes it feel so good in your hands, and the manual focusing is extremely well dampened. Not too shabby for a 30 year old lens.

I bought it used about 5 years ago at Kerrisdale Camera for $200.
