[QUOTE="Brian, post: 216041, member: 17621"] Nikon used to make lenses for Canon cameras. If you've ever picked up a Canon 50/0.95, it is impressive. 72mm front filter. Canon 50/0.95, wide-open on the Canon 7. [IMG]http://www.leicaplace.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=317&d=1367108056[/IMG] Not bad for a $200 lens. About twice the weight of a Nikkor 5cm F1.1.
