Even if you could afford to buy the Lens you would still have to employ someone to help you carry it! What astonished me is that it is only 200-500 f2.8 which on the surface does`nt seem all that extreme. couple of decent primes and a couple of bodies would do the same job and you`d still have £20,000 change!

It reminds me of the £200 cocktail on the bar menu at Annabelle's*. When asked why it was there, the owner replied that there was always some idiot who would buy one.

That's a midget. Checkout this baby at 256Kg. Or this monster at a mere 100Kg.

Is that a 200-500 F2.8 in your pocket or are you pleased to see me?

(Sorry - lowest common denominator etc.).

As it says, the Zeiss lives here in Qatar. Only one sold.

Not sure if it is ever used though?
