The bottom picture says it all. What a monster! 14KG - 200-500mm @ f2.8.
Price tag? A measely £16999 Sterling :shock:

I'll bet you won't get past customs in some countries for what that thing could look like! What a beast.

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .

That isnt practical at all! Like seriously its a savage beast but why pay that for it??? HOW could you use??? As they said themselves, they couldnt find a suitable tripod! and this is a camera lens brand!
