Some people asked what lens I may use to photograph diecast cars. Here it is !
The loan officer at the bank is very understanding when you apply there and you can also image your cars of any scale even if you are a mile or so away from home as long as the model is somewhere near a window.
The young women anywhere in the metro area are somehow very skeptical of such a huge lens, but your bicep muscle will be extremely impressive.
This lens works for all scales, too, from 1/18, 1/24, 1/43, 1/64 or even 1/1250 scale.

If you use a tripod, it will be easier on your muscles.

HA! Autofocus?
Of course, John ! Although autofocus is powered by a small gasoline motor and anyway it would take Clark Kent to turn the lens barrel for manual focusing. It can also image the astronauts landing spots on the Moon.

Mike; can I possibly borrow this camera? I need to send some pics of myself to a nudist dating site and I need all the help I can get.
Best regards;

Of course ! Once I pay this lens off or get out of debtors prison (whichever comes first) you are welcome to use it.
