That is a coool photo with the 2/200!!!

Thanks Frank and Fons. It's the 200/2 AI version with built-in Hood. But still 2.400 grams, it takes some training to master. Also to find a fitting bag (including camera) and strap, which I found at a dumpstore.

But the 200/2 is one of a kind.

The 200 f2 is a lens I would buy without a seconds hesitation if I had the small change to do so. Excellent example of how to use it John

Ok. 5500 new. 4000 used for the VR2. 2000 used for the MF ED.

That is serious money. Although the weight is more of my concern.

Thanks. Well actually I did hesitate when I saw the lens a year ago, because it was too expensive to my feeling. Great was my surprise to discover a month ago, it was still unsold, and at a 50% discount, and I didn't hesitate one milli-sec.

If weight is a concern Frank you should look for the Ai or Ais, it's 500 gram less

Hi,

yes, the 200 / 2 is perhaps a nearly perfect lens. But i would not buy it because it is too heavy for my. And too expensive.

Perhaps i can try it on one of the next fotowalks?

But here are some of my photos, all shot with the DF and the 30€-lens 75-150mm f3.5. I am every time impressed....
