I'm renting this for a few days! I really cannot wait. So I have already made a topic which will have photos of the lens and photos taken with the lens in the three days it will be with me.

Ive never been this excited. I used one the other day, minus the weight. Its wow!

Yah! I used one last week and its insanely heavy for what it is. Outweighs the Sigma 120-300 2.8 by a bit.

Few samples from testing it.

The bokeh is just beautiful. I need to compare it to the 200 f2L IS.

Ill defo have more shots tomorrow. :)

Well put it this way, I can see you being noticed with one of those in a big crowd of togs.
Now that's a PROPER-sized lens! :D
Wonder if Jessops have a filter for that size!

Pics will be posted in a few mins

One went on ebay the other day for just over £ 2,000, so they are about, just elusive.

Jacobs in London has TWO, Aperture photographic have one. Its AMAZING to see them all together in London.
