Worlds largest non-military lens, as seen on the Zeiss website. 1700mm f/4 designed for MF cameras, weighing in at just over 560 lbs. And I thought I was nuts having the 1200mm f/5.6 from Canon...

1700? That's some HUGE reach!

That looks amazing! As soon as I get a couple hundred bucks, I'm runnin' over to Best Buy!
Mikko, thanks for the proof that there is life on Mars.

That should just about cover the matched set of monogrammed lens caps . . .
one more thing to lust for
so Robert - you use your 1200 for Alaska shots from home ?
btw thanks Mikko - added to my Hubble screen saver roll ...:beer:

Ya that lens was custom made for some Saudi price, I believe it was. *Price undisclosed*
