I put this here because It is hardly a serious suggestion but just incase anyone is in the market:lol:

I wonder how hard it would be to stick one of these on an SLR.

Looking at the specs, it appears it would be a very simple task to mount a camera....in fact, mounting the camera seems to be the easy part...finding a Sherpa to lug that beast around is going to be far more difficult.

I can't afford a sherpa, but I'm 6'3" and my g/f is 4'10", so she could become the first human bipod. I just need to find a flat top hat to screw the lens on.

But seriously what kind of IQ are we talking about with a dslr plugged on that beast? If it can do MIF (missle_in_flight) I'm sure it can do BIF!

Be better off using a straight on telescope. :lol:
I've used a 2500mm and 2000mm F10 scope, which came out fairly decent.

There is only one problem, its optimum focus is at 4 miles out:p

I think BIF in the next town might be possible!
