With this lens on a tripod or monopod you would be the king of the bay. Prices are way down on these lenses, not doubt due to size and weight, but they are top performers.
Go 100% on Flickr and read the sign in front of the research vessel.(take it back, the RAW in my computer is perfectly readable, the 100% quality JPG on Flickr does not show at full size when clicked twice, have to download)

Some scans from the Nikon F w/55mm 1.2 during the snow storm in December. These are my first ever B&W photographs I've taken on film and they are my first ever developed 35mm black and whites.
I might have left them in about 15 secs longer than what was needed but I really like the contrasty look to them...
The original mill was built in the late 1800s, but was torn down and replaced in 1904. The new mill burned down in 1926 and was replaced by this concrete mill in 1927. At the time that it was built, it was the world's largest water-powered gristmill.
The mill is located in Juliette, Georgia. The main street of Juliette, McCrackin Street, is located just outside of the right side of the frame. The town was named after the daughter of the engineer that built the railroad. Her name was Juliette McCracken.
The movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" was filmed here 1991. Just about every weekend, you can find people who come to see where the movie was filmed and to eat at the Fried Green Tomatoes restaurant.

Looks good in IR. And thanks for the history of the old mill. I bet there are some great photo opportunities around that building.

The last one was perfectly focused and still, no vibration. Was using camera control pro and focusing in the laptop live image.
Proof is below, the planet/star that looks out of round is actually two of them. The 800mm 5.6 is impressive if one has no shake and perfect focus.
Thanks, George. It's a really cool building. Several years ago, it was turned into a motorcycle museum and I went through it. I wish I had had a camera with me, but I didn't. I always figured I would go back with a camera, never did. Unfortunately, the museum didn't last very long. The building has since been sold and doesn't allow tours.

Nice sunset Serge. The building verticals hold up pretty well with the 16/3.5 on the crop sensor. Do you de-fish any?

Thanks, George.
I have not de-fished photos with the 16/3.5 but tempted to try the Hemi software. At times, have to compromise the framing to minimize distortions but that is part of the charm of using this lens.
