After many missed opportunities to acquire this huge chunk O' glass, I have finally found a complete lens with case, caps and filters. Now, if it will stop raining...

This is a lens you have to work through the impulse toward distorting everything and learn how to use creatively. Of course, distortion is fun, but composing without overly distorting an image is rather challenging.
