The lens weighs 16.5Kg (36.4 lbs.). The tripod probably weighs more!

If you're in the market for a kit lens I'm sure we could work something out.

You don't have to pay for heat or cooling for a lens. 2. There are no yearly property taxes on a lens. 3. The lens doesn't care what school district it's in. 4. If the neighborhood goes downhill, the lens can be moved easier than a house. 5. The house cannot take pictures. See, this is quite rational! Plus that thing is so big you could probably sleep in it as well... Chris

I'll bet they'll let you in with a Canon 1200mm quicker than with a house! I expect the lens would be heavy, but a HOUSE? C'mon, man! You would need at least a REAL BIG two-wheeler to bring in a house!
