Price: About $140,000. Used.
Article one, article two.
Downside (well, aside from price and bulk): no Image Stabilization. (May be why it's discontinued.) Canon's 800mm is far more portable, also has great reach, and has excellent IS. And costs about 1/10th, too.
Craziness!! The only time I would love a nutty lens like that would be to capture images of musicians on an outdoor stage, from a flat, down the street (where I could, hopefully, hear them), so I wouldn't have to be in the sea of concert goers! lol! :-P
ReplyDeleteWould be interesting to see how well it would do trying to capture a decent moon shot... :-D
tThat would be great for street photography!
ReplyDeleteVery unobtrusive!
