Super sweet! I've dreamed about having a lens that fast. I get a little light-headed when I think about it, so I've demurred.
Have fun! |

Does someone have something to whipe that smile off my face?
Edit: I had her on my cam today, in a shop, so I know it's heavy... hope I can lift in for more than 5 minutes ;)

The downside to that lens is that the front glass element is sooo big, it
takes a lot of Vaseline to goop all over that glass for a soft focus effect.

Nah, it would be easier for you to send it to me. I suck anyway, I might as well have a horrible lens.

Just remember that, wide open, the 'focus then recompose' technique is useless.
