lol... wow that thing is huge, I am scared to ask what the price is gonna be.... and what would it look like with my little Rebel XT attached to it. Its gotta to come with a case that has wheels... or at least a nice strong case with a shoulder strap.

Note also that it comes standard with a dedicated 2x TC, making it a 400-1000 f/5.6 lens. Crazy.

On my Canon 20D, that makes it a relative 640-1600 5.6.
I also like the LCD readout giving you focal length and shooting distance info.

Pull it out of what? You can hide behind it or jump out of it... but you can hardly pull it out of something?

Right. You'll need a pair of these to get both nostrils of a Pittsburgh Steeler. |

LOL, I think you'd scare the animals even from the parking lot with that bad boy. Assuming you could lift it out of your car and onto tripod made with reinforced steel and bricks. |
