same reason one would want the 200 1.8 from canon:
* indoor gymnastics
* hockey
* any indoor activity in a large facility with poor lighting
* outdoor portraits where you want to totally obscure the bg
* outdoor (or large large studio) creative work
* any of the above that require uber-sharpness
I want one!!!! At least you know what to get me for Christmas now.

but if I did...., hehe. Nice lens, Harry. I hope Andy will give you this as a small token of your friendship, like a Christmas gift. I'm sure you can't wait until Christmas. Why not give it right away, Andy?

..never stop to amaze me..
$11K.. *all* my computer/photography hardware/software *together* does not cost that much, and this is just *a* lens..
I guess I better stick with my "small" camera, "it's a rich men's world" (Abba):):, it does not look that I qualify for it (yet)..
