Well... the focus on those beautiful wire-wheels looks 'purdy dang sharp'! LOL!

Thanks, all! John, my 'go-to' lens is Nikon's...
...AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR workhorse.
But this particular lens is their AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED. I can get apertures as small as f/36 with long exposures using the camera's timer and mounted on a tripod.

A very sharp model. Thought about once or twice-never got one. Excellent photos.
