Seen here attached to a Hasselblad 203FE.

Oh, and it weighs in at 256kg, and probably comes with a Mule to carry it.

Wow, Thats twice as heavy as me, and I wouldn't want to think a donkey could hold my weight.

Mounted on to the back of a jeep methinks.

Oh and that black thing is a camera, I thought it was a pipe of some description, bloody hell its huge.

Its not April 1st is it?

Might be a bit out of your (and pretty much anyone else on the forum's) price range Dan.

Its only an f4, I'd recommend waiting for the f2.8 IS version ;)

So has anyone got a price yet :eek: ?

Although saying that, I bet it's gotta be more than the 1200mm f5.6 from canon which is 60k I think, Maybe I wont be getting one ;(
