Hello!
I was doing a search on Ebay for Canon 5D cameras and came upon this "650-2600mm Lens." I thought it was kinda interesting. Definitely not planning on buying it or anything, but just wanted to share it with the community for observation: ;)

Ooh... it has all-glass optics.. nice.. ;)

rofl. I love the "without zoom lens" "with zoom lens" comparison, that made my day :p In that situation they obviously haven't heard of walking closer to get the people larger in the frame :p

Ebay has quite a few interesting things on it, to say the least!

But it is an off-white colour! It has to be good! Canon L's are probably just these things rebranded...:)

At least you'd look like someone with a nice lens, from a distance anyways.

Looks like the end of that lens attached to the camera will break if you don't use a tripod lol

There's a reason why their sample pic is taken during the day of people in the snow... :p

I'd almost want one, if the optics weren't sure to be crap :(

Also, does anyone else get the feeling that maybe this is more of a long-focus lens than a telephoto?

Figma?
