Happy Fathers Day (USA Holiday) Tell your family and friends this is what you want for Father's Day... This Nikon 400mm f/2.8 lens can be had for a measly $6500 used. This does not count the device to hold the 35 pounds of glass nor the $300 polarizer. I was taking pictures at the Pittsburgh Airshow when I looked over and Paul (I did not know him at the time) walked up with a cart and out of the cart came this monster of a lens. I felt like crawling under a rock with my measly 70-300. He was a great guy to talk with and he shared great tips on taking pix of jets. He had it mounted on a Nikon D2x which seemed small compared to the lens.

I took a few pictures with the camera and lens and will tell you it is a science and art to get one good shot with this monster. He produced many great images.

I have many other shots but this one seemed to fit the bill for "lens lust". :-)
