i've thought of that, as well as using it as a vodka bottle. but if i were to limit its use to photography, should i assume
-- what would be the typical subjects for it? i can't imagine it as a street lens. portraits? scenics? any examples? -- it should be used mainly off a heavy trupod? how "monopod'able" is it? -- it's close focus is roughly 10m. how limiting is it? -- is fast aperture a significant advantage? -- is it much better than, say, a Tamron or Tokina 300/2.8+1.4x? or Tamron 400/4? i am looking for opinions of people who have it and use it, please. thanks, mishka On Tue, 01 Feb 2005 11:19:52 -0500, Peter J.
