Thanks! I did my best with my iPhone. It was just a good foggy night at Overland Park that provided a nice backdrop.. Also, not sure if you guessed already who I am, but you actually drove that very car about a week ago. -az

That is not, although if I can go back in time, I would get the complete Nia set painted in the same nebula gray color as the car!
that is the Ag style CF front lip

Ah I thought so. Finally, someone I know in real life on here haha (I might have mentioned your Carvana story a couple of times).

Not today but the other day. Pics of both of the Lexuses together.

Second pic showing off my CT-- wrapped mirrors and pillars in Vvivid Gloss Black Vinyl--awesome stuff. (same mirrors as on the IS) and it came out well. I was going to paint them as it's easy to pop off the caps (and maybe I will one day) but for now I figure I can just peel the vinyl off if I hate it. This way I can test out the look. What do you guys think?

Wrapped the chrome trim as well (but for that I used 3m which is not as glossy. One day I'll redo it in the better stuff.)

I can tell you are using some serious glass. As a photographer I can recognize the look. Checked your flickr and confirmed. 200 F2? That's some serious money, my friend. Good shots. That 200/2 result is a look that a 2.8 cant duplicate or even software. Very unique.

Yes, I'm a bit weird when it comes to that sort of thing. Like a lot of guys I love that long lens look, and smooth boke, but I try to take it to the next level. I've been using the 200/2 since 2009, it's my go-to for just about everything. But in all honesty, it's a major PITA to use because of the weight, and shutter slap (and nope, I'm not going mirrorless). My dream lens is a 300/2.

But the 200/2 gets the job done .

Yep and the good thing about it is you can resell it a decade later and maybe even profit. Free lens. Great shot.

now i want to rent one and try it out. i'd be adapting it using a focal reducer on my XT3 though. curious what the result would be. Stopped shooting full frame a while ago primarily due to size (but do miss it at times) OK maybe CL needs a photography sub forum lol.
