…”Self, I wonder what it’s like to take photos with a three foot long, 36 pound, $180,000, 1,200mm camera lens?”
Don’t even think about taking a selfie. It will not focus on anything closer than about 46 feet.
I wish this had been a better article. It really doesn’t talk as much about the actual process of shooting with the lens as I’d like, and I’m not all that impressed with two out of three of the photos. But I still think it’s worth linking, even if it doesn’t push all of my photo geek buttons.
(Also, this is a used lens. For the record, and because I’m a Nikon guy, here’s their “equivalent” lens.)
