[Leica] Lens opinion

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

My recommendation is the current F mount AFS Nikkor 300mm f4E PF ED VR
lens. 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?
