I am not sure members here already aware of it. I stumbled across this lens at ebay.

I cannot believe no-one bid on it - quite a bargain price. But then I suppose it wasn't a prototype?

It doesn't have the white paint Very Happy.

It doesn't need to - a ring of red tape around the front of it should suffice. Laughing

That thing is insane!

I don't have a camera bag small enough for it, I'd be afraid I'd lose it.

I would've bought it to use for my macro work; unfortunately, I couldn't find a reverse mount ring for it.

Perfect for hiking, mountain climbing, and skydiving. My favorite walkaround lens. I tried to use it reversed to photograph the bee's knees but when moved close enough to focus, gravity grabbed the bee and squashed it onto the rear element splat.

I'm sure Alex could supply an adapter for that. Smile

Dou you think it would be fine for portraiture in my Olympus?...
Maybe I could take some shots from people in the US from home... Wink

I was thinking about buying. But I do mostly portraits, so minimum object distance is unfortunately a little too long..
