Okay, I suppose it's not the lens of the gods, or nothin'.
And, no, it ain't 'cause I got me a Mark II to shoot me some beautiful video with (oh the horror!). No, it's just for some still photography (hopefully) for the forseeable future. But damn. Imagine being able to shoot some video with a full-frame beauty like the Mark II and a lens like that...oh baby! Don't care what some nay-sayers say about the wonders of full-frame. Uh-ah, it's a beautiful thing.
Anyways...ya ever take pleasure in simply possessing a thing like a beautiful lens...even if ya ain't never actually used it? Is it...shameful?
Nah. At worst, I suppose it's a bit geeky, that's all.
