I am just curious. Other than speed, does anyone know how the 250/2 compares
to the Nikkor 300/2.8 , or even the Nikkor
300/4 , say 1 or 2 stops from max aperture? On 35mm can you really tell the
difference..? I am sure its a fabulous piece
of glass despite the fact that it uses 1984 coating technology, but does it
make economic sense to own one (again if
if speed is not so much of an issue)...or is it for (as Phil Greenspun would
say) ..the "small penised" ? :)

I'm afraid it is custom, at least for me. But if you are mechanically
inclined, it is easily done using aluminum bar stock with 0.125 inch
rubberized padding. Creates a very lightweight yet stable setup. It becomes
complicated when you start trying to add options to a basic camera/lens
setup. Options are defined as teleconverter, winder/md, etc. and this makes
it messy. Hope this helps.
