Question about Nikon Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 manual lens

Anyone have and use this older design Nikkor manual focus lens for anything other than macro(Micro) work or portraits? Just asking if anyone has used it for some general photography work? I have four manual focus Nikkor lenses; I like what they do on my D850; all use 52mm filters; one is a 200mm f/4 with built in sun shade; the others are a 28mm, a 50mm, and a 55mm Micro.

I have those manual Nikkor lenses, but my 105mm, is f/4. Have used it for all sorts of photographs, not just macro-work. No problems with the quality of images.

I have used that lens for many years and still do regularly, it is a great lens very sharp.

I have the subject lens, and have always found it to be very sharp both for macro and other uses.

I have some and use them on my 7D when I want a different look. They are the very old non AI lenses with the letter designation for number of elements.
Love them.
