Post the most ridiculous comments you've received with a big lens on!

It's not the @ss we are looking at....trust me on this one....

tis big enough to be the 600. It seems a little bit too long to be the 500, but as someone who has only admired those from afar, I'd need to check against a photo reference.

looks like the 600 to me!

600mm + 2x TC?

She had an ass?

I have to go find a recent What the Duck cartoon... it's been posted on this board already, but would go PERFECT in this thread!

Thats the 500mm.

red ring is right after the last black part, the 600 has a ridge then the red ring.

Here's what I was talking about:

Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE

Great link! The nameplates are also different on the 600. Definitely a 500 based on the location of the plate too.

It says 500 in the page title.

LOL.... what's up with those ducks anyways??

My usual gear at airshows is the 30D with the Sigma 50-500mm lens. They say white lenses attract attention but at some point size does too.

Anyway, I get asked a lot who I'm shooting for, am I a professional, etc. but one time after saying "no" to "are you with a magazine?" I then get asked:

"Well, what are you going to do with your pictures then?"

Gee, I dunno. Like maybe enjoy them?

The Titan missile is at the Titan Missile Museum in Arizona. It's an actual Titan missile silo that has been converted to a museum and you can take tours to look at the missile from topside (looking down into the silo) or from a number of different levels all the way down to standing underneath the missile. This particular missile has never been fueled so it's safe. It's also lacking the 9 megaton nuclear warhead that used to be there...

It's a great experience and I'm going back this weekend for an indepth 5 hour tour of the place.

That sounds so fun!!!! I will have to check it out next time I am in the area! Are those real people down there or just dummys?

Those are just dummies for scale and to show how they maintained the missile.

And yes it's a fun tour. There's even a simulated launch from the actual control room.

Very nice!!! As the chemical brothers say "Push That Button"
