Size Matters

For some, size matters...

This is the biggest super telephoto lens for nature photography. Custom made of course. Click on here for more information and specifications.

I am curious, how does one mount and support that thing at a whopping 256kg? Do you mount it on a small missile launcher or what? Do you use a tank to maneuver the thing? What the heck? And this is designed for nature photography??? What are you going to photograph in nature with this? An ant in a neighboring country? Life on Mars? The man on the moon? Okay, I know I am exaggerating here, but really, what the heck in nature does one photograph with this monstrosity?

However, I am a bit impressed by how big and long that lens is. No doubt, I am sure anyone would be. It is not every day you come across something like that.

However, I will confess and say that what holds my attention and really impresses me is not the size of a lens, but how you use it...
