Wow. An effective aperture of over 21cm diameter. That is a front lens as large as a dinner plate! jue >> Stay informed about: Damned expensive Canon lenses.

Well, with some mirror lenses (14" across) you can get 2400mm at f6.3, or 1950mm at f5 with a flat field. 1200mm refractive element at f5.6 is pretty fast. I once got a quote done for an 800mm f4 lens of $75,000. No AF. >> Stay informed about: Damned expensive Canon lenses.
