Anyone looking for a 2540mm f/8 monster lens?

And only for 33k, a total bargain. :):)

Monster lens (external link).

Now where did I put my NASA to EF-S adapter?


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I wonder how it compares to a SCT or Dob for a 10th of the price.

Very best,

EF-S you say? Wonder what the 35mm equivalent would be considering this was designed for 57x57mm 1:1 format? Maybe it will finally give my particularly unstealthy self the reach I need for some decent birding shots.

probably EOS M3 compatible...


some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

So if it was designed for a 57mm x 57mm frame and I stick a crop body in there, does that give me a 2.375 crop factor essentially giving me a 6032 f/8 lens. Awesome. :):)

Although, with it, I could shoot my kids' soccer games from across the town, I noticed it does not have IS. No go :rolleyes:
