Got a new toy. Part of an estate sale. The daughter didn't think it was ever mounted to a camera. I believe her. Not even a finger print on it. Until I messed with it. No dust...nothing. Everything there. Case, straps and paperwork.
Paid 1,000.00 for it. Got it home and discovered there was a Promaster HGX Prime 105mm CPL filter included. Look it up. 319.99. Surprised me. Not sure if I'll use it but...could sell it and recoup a few bucks.
This thing is a beast. Heavy, but faster than any lens I own. Wow. It will focus on whatever is in front of it. You had better have it pointed where you want it. Move just a little.....Gonna take some getting used to. Not sure it's focusing correctly, or if it's me. A friend showed me how to turn on focus point AFTER the shot. It might be me. Have a dock on the way. Plan to update and calibrate it anyway. Probably just prove it was me. Lol.
Not the best time to be spending this kind of dough but, I just couldn't pass this up.
