Originally posted by imtheguy I have two pics up. The obligatory moon shot at 800mm in my Gallery. Another 800mm shot in my Album.
Link to next rare lens on ebay of course.
There are certainly applications for a 400/5.6 lens with a converter that adds 1-2 stops. Like shooting pics of the sun?
Will be happy to encourage you to max your credit with a big pricey lens. I am sure most of PF members will also help.
Took a look at your photos taken with this 400/2.8 ... and ... well ...
They are so incredibly sharp!!
I am really amazed at the details especially with a 2X TC attached to it!
I am now keeping my LBA under control (Really!!) and try to accumulate enough cash just in case such a rarity suddenly makes itself known to me.
Just curious: Is this large lens still carry-able on a two-three hour trek?
Gosh ... that lens sure is worth verything they say it is.
Cheers!
