Get an adapter for the next x100 ?

6.6 KG so that narrows it down to wealthy strong people who have a Canon system who don't already have all the best lenses they need

Wasn't there a Canon 1200 lens for sale a few years back? They only made a handful and there was a video of MPB going to Japan to bring it home. 2nd hand but it was sold for £100k. Presumably to a paparazzi.

Ah, Broadcast lenses. The one you want is this, with a focal length of 13.6 – 612 mm (up to 1224mm with built in 2.0x extender)
