Monster Lens

What do you think of this huge lens :shock: From what I read , it is the second series of Nikkor's first zoom lens. It's a handful.

Diggin' that Nikon F with the Photomic F finder on it too. Looks just like mine, except I've still got the "angle restrictor" (little snoot that sticks out the side, which a lens like this one wants to use).

Here is a good reference on the different versions of this lens.

I had one of these lenses briefly. It was difficult to control camera shake
when on a tripod for some reason. I think it had to do with the position of
the lens' tripod mount. Otherwise a nice lens though.
