I'm not sure if I know anybody with a five grand Nikon lens.
Requires some time to wrap my head around it.
And of course the idea of what I'd do with this lens itself is a mind
bender.
Would 200mm f2 but as thin a slice as a 50 f1 DOF wise?
Seems like it would.
And I don't even have an anti vibration lens yet that would be something.
And its not all that bloated in size from what I can tell of it.
Yes I can - spend money on other glass than Leica or Zeiss for Hasselblad.
It just hasn't happened yet. You get a much less of a purist thing but a
real exotic thing like in this case super fast tele and VR and IF and AF-S.
With three Ed Glass elements and one Super ED.
Super ED! Is that Superman meets Mr. Ed?
