    In that picture Andy posted up doesn't the man have another giant lens hanging from his back? Not quite as big as the one on his shoulder, but still pretty damn big!
    That guy has a third piece of glass that's about as big as my 80-200 2.8! That dude is an OG of photographers!

    BTW - I need $100k long time loan (secured in heavy piece of real estate).

    B&H is offering no payments for 6 months via BillMeLater on this lens. I wonder what BillMeLater would think if someone tried purchasing it via that offer.

    A house or a lens?? Can you sleep in the lens??

    Good dream toy for the grown up boys. Hang the picture to the ceiling and look at it at the middle of night when you cannot sleep.

    The difference between father and son is the price of the toys.

    I had one but had to sell it because my wife insisted that her car needed to go in the garage. What doesn't show in the illustration is the very handy trailer hitch and rack for bicycle.
