In addition to the rest, I believe it's a fair bit smaller than the 90/2AA, although still pretty heavy. Last I checked it was around $750 minty used. It's been a little while since it appeared in my PAW...I've simplified a bit in my day-to-day shooting since my son was born...nevertheless, here are a few from earlier: http://www.sandlerphotographs.com/paw/2004_39/index.html http://www.sandlerphotographs.com/paw/2004_40/index.html http://www.sandlerphotographs.com/paw/2004_28/index.html http://www.sandlerphotographs.com/paw/2005_06/index.html http://www.duke.edu/~ajs2/Pix2003/pages/stereotax.html http://www.duke.edu/~ajs2/MBQ_Wedding/pages/2004_MBQWed_r29_00410012.html I borrowed a 75/1.4 briefly...I couldn't focus that thing to save my life, at least not close up and wide open...plus it felt like it was about twice as big: http://www.duke.edu/~ajs2/2004_10_NYC24/TheEvent/pages/e0900940014.html Best, Aaron Kenneth Frazier wrote: >On May 8, 2006, at 8:47 PM, Jeffery Smith wrote: >>BTW, 90mm seems to be the length LEAST used by LUGers, at least in PAW >>postings.
