I have a pretty big bogen. Lens balances so well
you dont really need a monster tripod
though. Shutter speed was 1/1000 ( F8 )
on Fuji Superia 400 film. Amazing thing is
the lens has excellent contrast and saturation
even though it's not SMC. Only 5 elements
so SMC not as beneficial as it is on lenses
with many more elements.
