What a beast.

Factor in the 1.5 multiplier, stick it on the D70, you could probably get a head and shoulders of someone standing on the beach in Fiji.

This is a link to the details

Birddog, you probably have a couple of these, are they any good?

I read further down the thread that the lens case cost $3,900, and I guess that is USD. Somewhere else, $79,000 (also US presumably) was mentioned

You'd need a really big camera bag too.

And let's not even get into the head on your tripod, oh my. Maybe you'd need a quadpod, or a pentapod. Or two of 'em. Or three.

Added to the price of the lens, you would have to get a golf bag & buggy to cart the thing around with you!!!!!!!! :idea:
Not to mention the tripod set up to hold the thing up ????????????????? :?:

My back is stuffed now so it’s no good to me!!!! :roll:

Cheers
Ray :lol:

I would never have to go anywhere to take photos again, I'd be able to capture anything from right here.

That looks like a police's battering ram to break into someone's door.
