The first lens that I really felt an almost unbearable desire to own was the Canon EF 300mm f/2,8. However, with its hefty price tag, it wasn't even on the horizon for me to actually purchase, beeing just a young university student at the time.

The dream still lives on however and certainly didn't weaken after reading the latest review at Lensfreaks.com.

That lens doesn't require stopping down the aperture if you want to achieve maximum sharpness. It is so incredibly good allready at f/2,8. Just take a look at those MTF-curves!

Seems like I won't be buying a new car this year. The old one still rolls and this lens rocksthe "beast"

the "beast" lives on
