Strewth, and I thought my SMCP-K 135-600mm 1:6.7 was big enough at around 4.5Kg. A tripod doesn't seem right, scafolding springs to mind.

And some people say the K10D is heavy.

Don't think it would fit in my hand luggage somehow

thats not a camera lens it's a medium sized astronomical telescope

whereas that is a fairly large astro telescope. It has an objective nearly half a meter across!

One might need a heavy, stable robot capable of lifting 200 lbs, to carry it for you.

wonder where one would find that...

science fiction I guess...

Its not a matter of it fitting into hand luggage, more a case of "will the authorities think your trying to smuggle a rocket launcher"
