Picked this sucker up cheap! It's a relic, and the image quality is fairly atrocious, but that doesn't stop me from loving it Its outlandish design has cemented its place in my lineup of L-lenses
Will I ever end up using it? Now that's a good question... Surprisingly, it zooms in and out relatively fast. AF is also faster than I expected. The motor continues to run as you attempt to zoom below the 35mm mark
