My updated equipment list.
Cameras:
Nikon D90
Nikon D50
Lenses:
Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 Ai-S:
Super fast, super sharp. I installed a cpu chip in this lens so all the automatic functions of the camera would work with it.
Nikkor 105mm f/2.5 Ai-S:
One of the all time greats. Swapped the Ai version for the newer Ai-S and added a cpu chip. Better control of CAs, smaller and has a built-in lens hood.
Nikkor 200mm f/4 Ai-S:
Not that fast, but faster than telephoto zooms and sharp at f4. The strong point about this lens is its very small size for such a long lens. I added a cpu chip to this one too.

I have a question about the Ai-s lenses. I bought the d80 because its supposed to be able to support a wide variety of lenses. The Ai-S lenses are the ones from the old film cameras, correct? Which makes them MF only, right? You installed the chip into the lenses so it can work with AF? The D80 has a built-in AF motor so if I bought an old lens I would still be able to use AF with the built-in motor, or was the chip installed so the lens could use the built-in motor?
