I just purchased this lens so that I can seriously compress distance and for beach shots of ships and surfers taken off the piers here in Southern California. This beastie weighs about 11.6 pounds, so it'll go on the 475B tripod and 229 head. I'll be putting it on a CG-5 equatorial mount occasionally for a little light astrophotography. It comes withflip up rifle type sights, but I'm thinking of putting a red dot on it for quick initial pointing.
I've never owned a beastie like this before and would like any comments about it. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
