My new lens (cough cough) arrived today!

[480sparky41 40]

As soon as I saw this, I just had to have one! I can't believe what this baby will do! Man, is it ever sweet!

A 70-200 f/2.8 Nikkor!




Jeez, this thing is cool! And the best part is, it only cost $40.
No, that's not a typo.... forty dollars!

And it needs to be cool, since it reached 100°F today! I couldn't wait to open this baby up and see what she could do!

Yep!..... it's a thermos!

Thirsty now?

Is it insulated like a thermos or is it more like a metal water bottle?

Is it insulated like a thermos or is it more like a metal water bottle? I saw one awhile back, but it wasn't insulated.

I put some ice in with some tea about 6 hours ago, and it still had ice in it.

Well, you got to hold that really close to you otherwise it's gonna get stolen! If that happens, I wonder if the thief will laugh or cry.

Take a Photo and then just pour it out of the lens! No Fuss, No Muss and No Post Processing! What will they think of next?

LOL, ive seen some 24-70but its the first time i see a 70-200. bring it somewhere where there is photographers and drop if on the floor just to see thier reactions.

 

[cnutco]

NICE! I want the 24 - 70 version...

 

[RSisco]

That's pretty cool.

Let's see.... so far, I've figured out the following:

If I want an old-fashioned sepia tone, I put in iced tea. If I want a bright red sunset, I put in fruit punch. High key shots need milk...... Low key needs coffee (no cream or sugar!).... For great bokeh, I use plain water...........

+1 I don't think canon do a thermos edition - just regular versions at present. Also I've heard one of your nikon options actually zooms!!
