Not interested, all my 35 gear is Nikon, wouldn't want to buy another body just to use one lens.:rolleyes:

One hell of a lens, not for the average photographer! I believe I saw this lens on this site sometime ago.

Sorry, I am not into wide angle lenses...

verney · Dec 9, 2009

Nope, close focusing distance is just appalling. I wait for a better version.

I like the stand though. None of my Gitzos/Manfrottos comes with a bench.

How long will you get to take photos near an airport before the police gets there?
f/14?? just too slow. Ill stick with my nikons
Best regards

By the way, this is not my lens for sale...I don't know the guy or anything. I didn't even have any idea these existed so I wanted to share....I must say, I really like the lens cap.

I think I will wait until they have a version out for the Mamiya MF.

What does the neck strap look like ?

Steve Smith · Dec 10, 2009

Is there one in a black finish?

Steve.

But.... I thought old FD lenses were supposed to be so inexpensive!

You should get it, EktaPatrick. You've already got an AE-1, so you're halfway there.

nick mulder · Dec 10, 2009

Does it cover 11x14" ?

Metroman · Dec 10, 2009

Pretty impossible to misplace the lens cap!

Alex Bishop-Thorpe · Dec 10, 2009

I'll hold out for the 5200/1.4, I think.

benjiboy · Dec 10, 2009

It's not just the lens, have you seen the mount in the illustration with a built in seat ?

ernest b. · Dec 10, 2009

If you need a little excitement in your life, you could ring-mount this thing on the back of a pickup truck, like a Somali "technical", then have a friend drive you around Washington, DC taking pictures of government buildings.

Q.G. · Dec 10, 2009

Leitz once gave away a Volkswagen Polo (Rabbit to you across the Pond) with their longest lens.
Zeiss had their longest telephoto mounted on the back of a pick-up truck.
And now we're supposed to want to buy this lens without even a neck strap???

I would actually have a use for this

Darkroom317 · Dec 10, 2009

What's funny though is that B & H wants 120,000 USD for the 1200mm EF.

lxdude · Dec 10, 2009

Greg Davis said:
That's because the EF is auto focus. This one is an older manual focus lens. Duh!

It is now. When it came out it had a slave included to do the focusing for you.

With two I'd have a great set of binoculars.

The amateur astronomer in me goes "Ooooooh! Pretty!", but my wallet says "Yeah, right."

It would take some good astrophotos I bet, but you would need one heck of a good mount to keep it tracking right.
