But as big as a 2.8. They only made it the first year when the first went AF with their sorrowful 2020. There was a non circular polarizer on it which makes me realize why the people did n't like it. Their readings had to have been all over the place. A more useful photographic tool I've seldom used (the focal length). but I got sick of the size of the thing. It was even a twister instead of a pushme pullme. I wont say was cause i still have it i am looking at it now... and it is a 70-210 same difference. Embarrassing how sharp this lens is I'll never sell it. It's not in real use not for quality reasons. just big that's all a typical job for me is shooting 5 rolls in 3 hours in the studio... or i end up doing a lot of walking around with stuff. Maybe if i did more push ups and pull ups and yoga and ate yoghurt and followed a yogi and learned to yodel and wasn't a yokel… > But I have NO IDEA what to offer for the speed graphic flash I'll do some immediate research. .. ask my yogi.
