Hey...B&H got another of these in. Only $120K...used. 36.5 pounds.

If you got it, what would you do with it?

The heat mirage on a hot day would probably give you an image that is not very clear, the same as looking through a spotting scope on a hot day and seeing the heat mirage. Probably best used on cooler days or overcast days.

Sell it and buy my 60MP Phase One Medium Format kit and ALL the lenses I want. And use the remaning 60K to go all over the world.

If nothing else reading the description of the lens in the 'Features' section on the B&H site is worth the visit.
