What Canon? lens is this?

The camera is one of the canon 1d range. Think the lens is a 400mm prime.

looking at NinetyEight link I would now think a 800mm prime.
 
I'd agree with the 500 or 600 guess, the massive white bucket on the end is just the hood and isn't shown in the photos on the link, making it look like a bigger lens than it is. As for which it is, no clue, they look so similar.
 
defo 500/600/800 but which one :shrug:

perhaps you could zoom in on the original and pick out some numbers
 
Just wondering why he chose a monopod? Wouldn't have thought a tripod was banned there... As said, 500 f/4L or 600 f/4L at a guess.
 
It's definitely a 500 or 600mm f/4 L, but they're very difficult to tell apart at ths range. I think it's ptobably a 600. If you have a larger image, it will be possible to determine because the position of the red ring is a give-away. Unfortunately I can't quite see it cleary enough in this picture.
 
I put my 50p on a 500mm f4. The 600mm f4 has a much thicker rubber ring (camera end). 400mm only have two rings unless its a f2.8 but they are quite short. Defiantly not the 800mm f5.6 as there a totally different monster.
 
Hmmm i'm going to say 500 as well, the rubber focusing ring looks to small to be that of a 600mm.
 
I'm gonna pitch in and say 500 as well. the red "L" band is much closer to the focussing ring in this and the 600's red band is quit a bit further away from it, imho anyway.

Loads of dosh?

Saying that, it doesn't matter what equipment you have if you are pointing the lens the wrong way ... as he was when this came round the corner. The look on his face as I snapped it with my Pentax K10D and Bigma was priceless. :lol:
