That includes 50&85/1.2?There isn't a 135mm lens in the market that comes anywhere near this lens. If the focal length is useful to you, there is really no substitute among Nikon or any other brands.
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

@wotan1 , if I remember right, aren't you lusting after the 600tc? Wouldn't getting the Plena now completely jinx chances of that with SWMBO?Everyone thanks for putting me at jeopardy with She Who Must Be Obeyed.
This is a tempting and dangerous place.![]()
I should add that I only asked about GAS because I have it bad too. And recognize the symptoms! That Plena is beautiful, I tried it at a local camera shop when I looked at a z8.@wotan1 , if I remember right, aren't you lusting after the 600tc?

I fear you are suffering from a GAS atack...?
Will the vehicle come with a global shutter? How many stops of DR?I should add that I only asked about GAS because I have it bad too. And recognize the symptoms! That Plena is beautiful, I tried it at a local camera shop when I looked at a z8.
Mine is for a z8 or z9 in the Fall, falling in line after a storage solution (done, built a new NAS), new computer, maybe a monitor. A new vehicle might insert itself in there, unfortunately, which will delay everything else.
Good point!Will the vehicle come with a global shutter? How many stops of DR?
The backup camera...lol
Congrats. I look forward to seeing some images after you get it!Yeah I am sold. You all convinced me this is a really unique lens.
Breadpay had an interest free two year loan available and I qualified.
It is on backorder at Nikon USA but other stores seem to have it so I suspect I will not be waiting long.
Meanwhile I am going to put a few things up for sale to satisfy She Who Must Be Obeyed.
I also just realized something. Unlike my 800 this lens is not going to have atmospheric issues.
Why not sell the gear, buy at BH and save your WA B&O tax?Yeah I am sold. You all convinced me this is a really unique lens.

Just no close up Leopard portraitsYou all inspired me to take the plena out for a walk this weekend. Checked my bag and saw that I have it with me in the DRC, so I am exited! Will focus on butterflies, the few that are currently around during our dry season sort of mid winter.
