Figured I better post this early since this is a special order job. http://www.pbase.com/image/33066908 I understand if you order now, it comes with a Vietnamese guy or gal. 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? Dave earguy |

Can I use that with my bellows kit? what is surprising is the ballhead... a Wimberely would make much more sense.

From: "EarGuy" http://www.pbase.com/image/33066908 Should I use a filter on the front to protect it, since I knock my lenses around a little bit? 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. |

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

Me love you long time!" 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. - Harrison |
