And, it's not even AF, VR or IS. I use a 2400mm f10 once in a while, but it's a pain to move & set up, plus camera / lens shake and atmospheric heat waves are a problem with terrestrial shooting at that focal length.
Yes, I would enjoy having such a thing in my lens collection, but mostly because of it's heritage. Vibration would probably not be a problem, given the total weight of the lens.
I have a piece of rocket skin that I found on an island in the Bahamas.

I would rate this lens higher, but i was trying to get a shot of the wedding rings and it would not focus close enough. also i wanted to buy a UV filter to protect the front element, imagine my shock that it would have to be custom ordered!!! works ok hand held, hope they make one soon with VR.
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
