@Charles wonderful shots, and I was very interested in your comments about the 75 Lux on various A7x recently.

Charlie...awesome dog pics! That bokeh from the 300 looks pretty smooth!! Handheld? It\'s a pretty big lens, right?
It\'s 2500 grams, but actually perfect for a big handheld if you hold it properly, with left elbow bent and resting on the chest, palm open against the tripod mount.
Back in the day, people like us almost never had lenses like this, nearly all were used by working pros whose organizations bought the tools. As you can see the build is extremely robust, making your average AIS nikkor seem like a plastic toy , and since it\'s MF, there are not lots of little parts in there. Perfect for serious abuse
This and the similarly priced Canon FD 300/2.8L were the mainstay of many press photogs from 1983 well past the introduction of AF versions. It cost 1450USD in 1984. The Canon may be as good but not any better, I think. The Canon is already puke white, while this thing is seriously clandestine Both are IF, so a fingertip will focus like scrolling your iPhone
