I don't know how good that ED version is but it is certainly priced out of this world. I ended up doing a hurried trip yesterday evening to shoot a roll of 120 despite the overcast weather and failing light, but I don't have much hope for the results. All the shots ended up being 1 to 4 seconds long. I wish the 67 had the same shutter speeds as the K2 (out to 8 seconds). And I also wish I hadn't left my cable release at home! I also took some comparison shots between the 6x7 300 f/4, the 35mm A* 300mm f/4, and the SMCP 135 f/2.5 which is as close a view as I can get to the 67 300mm in the 35mm format with the lenses I have. I'll do a few more "comparison" shots in better light when I get the chance. The sun is bright today; hopefully the wind will die down a bit later this afternoon.
