Just the size and weight will let you use it a lot more - you can carry it around the whole day in your hands without feeling tired. Did I forget to mention that it is also an absolutely stunning lens? https://www.nikon.co.in/af-s-nikkor-300mm-f4e-pf-ed-vr Cheers Jayanand On Sat, Aug 13, 2022 at 7:38 PM Aram Langhans via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> wrote: > Since I now have a mirrorless, it opens up a vast array of lenses that > can be adapted to the body.
