Wouldn't want to carry it in my bag though

Do a search, it comes up every 3-4 months

 

[pauljs]

Oh OK, sorry..........

Pretty cool though. I still want to see shots taken with it.

I have seen the 1200mm one, but not this one...

Never seen it before, surely a telescope would be a better option?!

Never seen that before, just out of interest whats the RRP

 

[pauljs]

Apparently it's priced according to the WTBFWP scale

Telescopes, even expensive ones, usually have quite bad CA but for pure focal length you're quite right

It's FD mount and IIRC it was on eBay for a few ten thousands a while back?

It's a nice lens, could use some kind of stabilisation for hand held shots though. Could do better.
