B: A Goose is always the same as a Chicken, and a Chicken is always the same as a Duck, but a Duck is not the same as a Goose except when the additional injectors are installed.

No, f/2.8 is fast.
17mm, however, is short.
I was thiking "Hmm- it doesn't have that sort of forced-perspective, wherein the size of the goose's head is exaggerated and the body seems to fall away in the background."
But now that I'm soberer, I can see that it does.

gotcha, i know f/2.8 is fast, but I was thinking that's what you were referring to.
I'll show you some odd forced-perspective....

Some of it genuinely disturbs me, and I am not easily disturbed.
I'll put it this way: there are "adult toys" available.
From more than one source.
Here is the engine from a Solar Saturn turbine generator, of the type used by AT&T long-lines division as a backup power source:

For some reason, I always assumed that these used radial turbines, but nope- they're axial, just like most aircraft engines.
The complete generator assembly:

Interesting sidebar: they build these here in Sandy Eggo, at a plant near the airport.
