For grins, shot with this lens on my IR modded camera. The 200mm f/2L is a decent IR lens... but I don't know what application there would be for it, other than maybe certain landscapes or portraits.

Michael, if indeed that order goes thru and the lens is OK, then you've got yourself one super duper deal.
However, that extra 1 1/3 stop in nominal aperture makes one huge difference......200 f/1.8 lens is truly one of a kind. Similar to 50 f/1.0 which is also one of a kind.

Lars, I always love seeing your Thai people images too -
Some people prefer black + white imagery, and say that B+W is more expressive than color...
but I respectfully disagree. I like color myself, and you Sir - are a Master of color and portraiture. Lars + interesting subject + 200mm wide open = magic :-)
Sincerely,
Scott
PS: You should do a book - if you haven't already.
PPS: Lars, coincidentally after posting here, I watched a film on Netflix named 'Frida' (2002).
It really reminded me of your Thai portraits - full of life, art, color and exotic women.
The setting is Mexico, not Asia...but the parallels were striking. I bet you would really like
it - check it out. As a bonus, there is even some photography involved in the storyline :-)
