Not quite as expensive as Nikon's 1200-1700mm zoom.

That's actually a rocket launcher with a camera exposure button as its trigger.

Have you ever had the opportunity to see the U.S. Marine's 2200mm lens?


Nope. I imagine that's not much of a portable lens.

It's probably the same size as the lens you showed, maybe a bit bigger, but I saw it when traveling to the venue inside Ft. Bliss that would hold a military ball. I can't find google images for it, but after asking a bit, I was told it was a X-2200mm, and that they used 1 TB cards.

Lol, that's rather insane.

With that Nikon one I posted, one of the few sites with any info on it states that only government agencies and some very big news outlets can afford it. :/
