A 240 inch f1.2 lens?  Amazing!  I'm curious about the bokeh quality.  :D

Aerial photography is not about bokeh :D

Impressive optics for sure.

This class of camera typically is fixed focus only.

best bokeh you get in inverted flight

be aware, if your shoot selfies with this lens, it will be your last one   ;)

Only if it is sharp enough.  Otherwise, the selfie immediately before this would be my last one.  :D

I'm wondering why Michael hasn't been inquiring about this lens.  It must surely be an apochromatic lens.  :)   ;)    :D

You move the subject, not the lens. Quite simple.

However, the extension required to get into the close-up range could well be 12(!) m or more. So "a little" impractical indoors :D

Just pull back on the yoke and take her up 100 meters then shoot the next frame.  :D   :D   :D
