The lenses are huge (maybe not by Canikon f2.8 zoom standards) and it needs 
short (I try for 1/3xFocalLength) exposure else shake comes into it when 
hand-holding. Results are worth it though ;-)

Popflash are worth keeping an eye on, I have bought several lenses from them 
at $1000s off B&H price. Not sure how they do it, but lenses are direct from 
Leica and they advertise them as 9.88 out of 10 as they cannot advertise new 
at the discounted price...

+1.
I have been wondering what I don't use and what to sell.
