Good grief :!:
I wonder how the AF is :?:

[Jemmind]

Wanna take bets on how much $$ he's lugging around there just in glass??
Woah! I looked at the picture THREE times before I saw the other two lenses he had. Was this for real or was this photoshopped? Gullible me???

I don't care who makes it; you don't even have to be into photography to appreciate that creation!

Hmmmmm, wonder if I could get a 500D for that sucker :lol:

jesus, it looks like a Space Telescope

[CyberDyneSystems]

There is no AF.. it is a Manual focus lens...

If you want AF you need the Canon EF1200mm f/5.6 :)

I for-see European Nikon shooters coming to America and spending time in guantanamo bay after homeland security snatches the bazooka they tried bringing through the airport

This is the Mark II steam-powered verson of that lens.

Forgive my ignorance but is it typical for Nikon users to face away from the action. It seems that everything is going on behind him.

With a lens like that, he shot all the action and will be home before
anyone else even knows what's goin' on!

Just thinking...throw that lens on a typical dSLR and the 1.5X factor would
make it a 2550mm lens!!!!!

[jooka]

Insane photo. It's like he's carrying some sort of weapons...

[Belmondo]

The one hanging over his shoulder ain't bad either!

I believe these are properly referred to as 'anti-tank' weapons.

He's just moving far enough away that he can fit some part of the action on the frame!

His previous shots at the first location were all shots of somebody's retinae! :shock:

[Canuck]

Imagine the astrophotography pics! Is it a mini-hubble? Next question it is probably a 5 digit number much like the 1200mm F5.6 that Canon has, right?

[stopbath]

Ahhh... The 1700... commonly used when the electron microscope is on the fritz... :)

Should have a thing on a dolly.

It's not white. :cry:

The power of the dark side.....

He could sit at home and see what is going on!

...jeez, how many D cells does that MAG-LITE take?

[PhotosGuy]

A lens so big it needs TWO handles! The 600 5.6 has been reduced to 'doorstop' status! :cry:

[ron chappel]

I wanna turn up at a game with one of those and a little N55 attached to the back :lol: :lol: :lol:
And no tripod :P

Better still...take one to a womens netball game :D ROTFL
