I thought some of you might be interested some of the nutyness this lens can bring.

It's a crazy bit of glass, and the shots are generally unrepeatable but subject matter is important plus the all important light.

OOOOOOOOOH! wonderful light! I have wanted one of these but again cannot justify the purchase.

How does it feel putting such cheap optics on a D2X?

it is almost sacrilege.

cheers doug

Please post more so I can justify buying one :D

Hi Simon,
Welcome to the forum. I love the pictures! They look like a cool kind of painting or piece of art!

I've been thinking of getting a lens baby - they are pretty cool. I've seen some really decent results from that bad boy.

THese are cool.

Thanks for the kind comments all.

Yeah this type of lens on a D2X does seem at odds with one another but it was the only body I had taken ... so what the hell !

I got the lens 2nd hand from a lady in the States for USD $70 (Lens Ver 2.0 also) I saw a few at the exhibition over the wekend but dont know what they sell for here.

Its a bit of a sleeper lens in my bag but when I use it, I always start mumbling "where's my precious, my precious, where's my precious" :D
