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? http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/ProductDetail.page?pid=2150 -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: leo wesson <leowesson at gmail.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2010 20:54:35 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Wow! 200mm f/2G ED-IF AF-S VR Nikkor > > Well Mark, > > It seems to me, and correct me if I am wrong, that your Nikons are > your bread and butter, so why wouldn't you spend money on Nikon glass? > > Leo Wesson > Photographer/Videographer > 817.733.9157 > www.leowesson.com > > > > On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 6:24 PM, Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> > wrote: >> Leo my humor is very subtle and you have to join a special club just to >> understand it but I have spent that kind of money on glass.
