A word of caution to anyone thinking of bidding on this lens. This is the
same as my 600mm f8, which I mentioned on Scotts focusing thread, as being
an even older version than his. It has a non-standard front thread size,
making it impossible to find a filter to go on the front. Aside from that,
it's a great lens.
