    Default Super Huge Canon 5200mm F14 lens

    I thought I'd post this in the accessories section...but get a load of this super sized lens. Outside of using this for astronomy...what else could this be used for? This thing is bigger than most folks I know (ok...a little exaggeration there). Anyways...a lucky buyer picked it up for only $55,000.00. Made by Canon.

    Wow. That sucker is HUGE. Doesn't look like it would work run and gun though.
    Check out the BJ35 Adapters. Because nothing helps a filmmaker better than a BJ.

    That rail setup eats any other rail setup made by, Cinevate, Cavision, RedRock, SGPro, Zacuto, etc., for breakfast. I can't imagine there'd be a follow focus strong enough to turn the focus ring?

    Wow, that's insane. It reminds me of an article I read on the net many years ago about a guy who used to build spy satellite optics. After he retired, he used his skills to take crazy ultra-high-res shots on the ground. Drove his rig around in the back of a van and opened the rear doors to take landscape pictures that he could blow up into giant, crystal clear murals.
