I also remember reading somewhere the actors had a bad time from having to
make sure to stand still to not go out of focus. 4cm of depth of field isn't
much.

One of the articles about it mentions that Kubrick directed the scene so that
the actors only moved from side to side, so they'd stay in focus.

Hah, I mistake it with the slower 300mm f2.8

This is my first time know this f2 version.

The price tag is very high close to 10k. And it's very heavy...
