Can anyone please tell me what this lens is?
I took this photo recently when the three senior members of the Royal Family visited Burnley - it did seem a bit like overkill when the Queen was only twenty feet away!
I managed to get this shot with my Olympus e510 and the kit 40-150mm lens from just about the same position as him, although positioned slightly higher up.
I've been told by some people that Canon/Nikon regularly send out photographers with humungous lenses to all the big media events as a publicity stunt and that it's likely that it was never actually used on the day.
Still, a friend has asked me what it was...I'm sure someone on here will have the answer!
