oh, i've used them, don't get me wrong. just have no need for it. i sold a lot of lenses in the past couple of years because of the increase in video work and the lack of substantial photography-income.
i'm down to two prime lenses and rent any lenses i need for the jobs that pop up here and there. all i really need for myself is the d3 and the 50. wish i could justify the purchase of this Zeiss 35/1.4 that i have on rental right now. this thing is sweetness.
saw the indigo again this morning, but a smaller one. wonder how many of them are around here.

At the short end it's good for certain scenics, in the midrange it's a great portrait piece (including cars) and at the long end it's good for wildlife and things far away. Throw a 25mm Extension Tube on it and it's a great macro lens and throw a 1.4x TC on it and it's an even better macro lens.
The tripod/remote thing will certainly work well, just stop down enough to get good DOF.
