Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / August 2004ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS !!!
Figured I better post this early since this is a special order job. http://www.pbase.com/image/33066908 I understand if you order now, it comes with a Vietnamese guy or gal. "Boo-koo lens. Me love you long time!" Yup, it's true...size *does* matter! > Figured I better post this early since this is a special order job. > > http://www.pbase.com/image/33066908 > > I understand if you order now, it comes with a Vietnamese guy or gal. I have a few questions about this lens... Do you think I can hand-hold it if a tripod is inconvenient? Will my Tamron teleconverter work with it? Do they make it in an f/1.8? Should I use a filter on the front to protect it, since I knock my lenses around a little bit? Can I macro focus to within six inches with it? Why should I use that, when a zoom lens is so much more flexible? There may still be a place for that lens in my bag. I'll see if I can get it on ebay for under a hundred bucks. If not, I'll get one of those mirror f/8 500mm lenses and put my 3x teleconverter on it. It'll be the about same thing, right? Dave earguy will it fit my centon body ? :)  SignatureAll outgoing emails are scanned with Norton Antivirus 2003 > > > Figured I better post this early since this is a special order job.

Yes, but the filter size is a bit tricky. However, I believe that the windshield of a '84 Monte Carlo fits perfectly. >>From: "EarGuy" milk0987@yahoo.com > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Yes, but the filter size is a bit tricky.

This does a faboulous job at protecting the lens from things launched forward from the mirror when it flips up. I use one frequently, since I drop things into my camera a bit too often. > Figured I better post this early since this is a special order job. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > "Boo-koo lens. Me love you long time!" A mere $110,000 or so. ... wait 'til payday, Bret. If you buy 10 of them, they throw in a free filter. Can I use that with my bellows kit? what is surprising is the ballhead... a Wimberely would make much more sense.

Yeah, great, but can it 'do' ants in direct sunlight? > Figured I better post this early since this is a special order job. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > "Boo-koo lens.

If you've got mortgage money to spend on a lens, you'd think you could afford a Whimberly Gimbal to mount it on. He is one loose adjustment away from toppling that whole setup with Arca-Swiss ball head. - Harrison > > Figured I better post this early since this is a special order job. > > > > http://www.pbase.com/image/33066908 > > > > I understand if you order now, it comes with a Vietnamese guy or gal. > > "Boo-koo lens.
