Well what are you waiting for......
Got good stuff must share ok!

 

[kraterz]

What's the point of such a lens? It was probably made for a demo or proof of concept. Most humans will have to sell their house, car, wife and children to afford this.

 

[Jed]

Yes it was, as I said in my original reply.
