FYI - if you watched the Buick Classic golf tourney on the weekend you could see one in action. I saw one of the photographers there carrying it from the 18th green (over his shoulder by the black "suitcase style" handle) after Padraig Harrington made the putt to force a playoff.

Well, I'm missing good Euro 2004 coverage cos I'm just looking at all that Canon L glass, jeez there are a few bucks around the pitch. Thought I'd seen a 1200 but not sure football/soccer is the right place for one?

Mind you, if I had a second, I wonder if I could reverse couple one to the other for a rather spiffy macro lens? Can you get coupling rings for them? |
Jacko? Could you do that? ;-) 2 of these lenses reversed coupled...could probably the individual cells of the fly... LOL

Usually, with long lenses, extension tubes are used to get closer focus.

From what I've read, there are only about 10 in existance, so its doubtful they'd be at a soccer game (where probably something like a 400 or 500 is close to too long for a lot of the action)

Even cooler, they added the 2x TC, making it the equivalent of a 17280mm f8 lens. |
