Yes, that's 5200mm f/14. It's 1.2 meters long and weighs 100kg. Even the hood is a good .39 meters long! :eek:

Awesome! I gotta get one. Wonder if it will fit on my XT???;)

I'll take a dozen. I'll mount 'em to some disposable cameras & set them on the guest tables at my wedding.

Does a 2 meter schmidt-cassegrain refracting lens on a fixed base beat that?

If only it had IS...

Aww..c'mon. It looks handholdable to me! Just keep your shutter above 1/10400th! :D

It does have IS... try to shake the camera! I dare you

Oh come on... it's only 100kg (220Lbs). How many Americans haven't lifted their 220 Lbs brides over the doorstep? :p

LOL

That makes the groom shake more than the bride though :eek:

Not sure how that translates to cameras...

8320mm f/14 FOV on a 1.6x!!!

I could see the US flag on the moon with that.

I wonder if it can take teleconverters..... :P

Yeah...but you lose AF!

It's a MF lens.
Not even the pro bodies can work with f/14 lenses.
f/8, sure, but f/14 is really pushing it.

8320mm is a lot, but how about 17280mm f/11??
