I understand if you order now, it comes with a Vietnamese guy or gal.

"Boo-koo lens. Me love you long time!"

Yup, it's true...size *does* matter!

I have a few questions about this lens...

Do you think I can hand-hold it if a tripod is inconvenient?
Will my Tamron teleconverter work with it?
Do they make it in an f/1.8?
Should I use a filter on the front to protect it, since I knock my lenses
around a little bit?
Can I macro focus to within six inches with it?
Why should I use that, when a zoom lens is so much more flexible?

There may still be a place for that lens in my bag. I'll see if I can get
it on ebay for under a hundred bucks. If not, I'll get one of those mirror
f/8 500mm lenses and put my 3x teleconverter on it. It'll be the about same
thing, right?

A mere $110,000 or so. ... wait 'til payday, Bret.

If you buy 10 of them, they throw in a free filter.

Can I use that with my bellows kit?

what is surprising is the ballhead... a Wimberely would make much
more sense.

Cheers,
Alan

Yes, but the filter size is a bit tricky. However, I believe that the
windshield of a '84 Monte Carlo fits perfectly.




Actually, they use a gel filter on the camera-end of the lens. This does
a faboulous job at protecting the lens from things launched forward from
the mirror when it flips up. I use one frequently, since I drop things
into my camera a bit too often.

If you think that's impressive, wait 'til you see the four foot long
extension tube needed for true macro.

Pretty big, for a white one :)

Yeah, great, but can it 'do' ants in direct sunlight?

If you've got mortgage money to spend on a lens, you'd think you could
afford a Whimberly Gimbal to mount it on. He is one loose adjustment away
from toppling that whole setup with Arca-Swiss ball head.
