ok guys I just got one of these lenses in pristine condition like new from ebay. The seria number on it is above 1 million as suggested by Gasrocks(thanks) no on to the good stuff anyone else have this lens? can we maybe see some sample shots? also I do have a couple of questions...
when it comes to the adapter, what do I get? does it really matter what adapter you buy? any suggestions?
now on to the hood, I was told by gasrocks that tele hoods on these lenses reduces the flare they are prone to have. any hood in particular to look for?
thanks guys, here is the one that I got...
