800mm

[M5Man]

I read an 800mm lens is coming out :eek:

Anyone here ordered one...

[Double Negative]

I got mine last week.

No, seriously. It's not even out yet. Someone here did pre-order one, however.

I bet they are the price of a family car :shock:

It is.

You'd have to need it for highly paid work to own it.

Or, you'd have to just simply have the money.

Meh.

I would have to use the 800mm lens to take pics of my wife. That way I'd be far enough away and outside the homicidal rage zone she'd be in after I spent that much on a lens.

Yeah but lugging that monster around she is going to catch up to you quick. :lol:

When I read that, I thought you were going to say 'so that I could be a private investigator'

Some portrait photographers use 500-600mm lenses in model shoots. There was an SI swimsuit photographer that was noted for this. He used walkie-talkies to communicate to his assistant and the model.

They do give unique compression -- I have done it at 400MM, just never thought of more....... (cuz I don't own more)

Double meh.

Hi,

Advertised at Mifsuds (http://www.mifsuds.com/acatalog/EF_Lenses.html) for £8799.99 which isn't a bad price all things considered.

Mike.
