I had to check the date to make sure this wasn't posted on April 1st. What an insane lens!

Typical grays overpricing
Seriously overpricied. Try about $25k, the usual going rate on these.

No thanks
Not for me thanks - I'd hate to own a lens that required that I comb my hair and wash behind my ears before using it.

Bond, James Bond
I heard James used this lens to photograph bad guys who were standing behind him.

Camera
Is the F2 included as well? At the asking price I would have thought it should be thrown in for free.

F2?
I think the body's a 'F' not a 'F2'.

Addons
First they zing you on the lens purchase, then you've got to get the throw in the 250mm UV filter. Then after that they're gonna entice you to scoop up a CP filter not to mention the not-included hood. Next thing you know you're way past the budget you initial set. J/K I have no idea the diameter on this puppy but if you wanted needed cut the light you could probably use neutral density sheets designed for monos!

Addons?
I would they're slot-in filters...

Nikon F
Not to detract from the lens, thats a Nikon F (non-Photomic model, no meter) that was manufactured around 1971. The original Nikon F had a bare metal film advance lever. That lever with the plastic came out around the same time that Nikon started making the F2. Ahh, the days when cameras were fully mechanical and photography was an art form...

the only lens...
...that can still see your wallet when facing the other way.
Dear Grays,
Please take it for a spin around the London Eye with a D800 on the back and post the video.

Nice lens
Is there an iPhone case adapter for it? It would make for some great pics!
