Just when I thought I have all the lenses I 'need', along comes something you can't pass up.....

And insanely heavy haha, I passed on it a while ago, I think that was a $300 one in mint condition. But too heavy for my taste, congrat on your purchase ;)

$300 for a mint one? Geez, is it still available???

Yes it is definitely heavy, but it's gorgeous. I got this with a bunch of other stuff from an estate....everything was very well cared for, and this lens came with a Summarex filter in the original box as well. One of those rare opportunities that you can't pass up....

Vince -- good job on getting this. How are the photos? I would expect them to be very good.

I just got it a couple of days ago, and am currently running a roll through it. When I have some results I'll be sure to post them. I'm making a point to shoot at wider apertures to see how it does.
