That thing looks more like a WMD than a lens.
Go easy on me!

    hahaha

    looks like it belongs on the Onion or something... Thought it was a joke! No tripod... that's insanity! How can he even properly rate that lens when he can't even hold it steady? At focal lengths or shutter speeds as "slow" as 1/500 I bet he's rockin and rollin regardless.

    can't stop laughing...

    Maybe he was inspired by the presence of the good locking female model. mwink.gif

    There were I believe 4 that were produced. For a mere $250,000.00 I can get you one. You are responsible for buying the 1 ton pickup truck to mount it on. Even Gitzo doesn't have a tripod that will support that bad boy. thumb.gif

    Here is it's wife and their first born child if you would like to see them as well.

    Dang that's expensive! Its probably cheaper to self build it .. all u need is of course two super accurate mirrors.

    I suggest offering to let NASA use it part-time. They will launch it into space for you at no charge. Win/Win!
