Wooow - at first I thought it was a joke.
Woah! I wouldn't have thought this would've ever happened!
If it's built like the back end of a 1 ton 4x4, I think that's what you need to pack this baby around. I haven't got the 4x4 but I'd sure like to take some shots with it. Amazing lens!
Bryan, could you test or try also the Sigma 200-500 f2.8 +2x
I saw a test on this lens. I looks amazing and in a way more "affortable". Here ia a link to the test http://www.juzaphoto.com/eng/articles/sigma_200-500_2_8_ex_dg_review_test_samples_raw.htm
Amazing...I never expected to see an even slightly negative review of this lens. I am in awe of your ability to remain objective in the presence of such gear.
(The helicopter shot is probably a no-go if you're going for prop blur...you want to get an entire rotation of the top rotor while the shutter is open...1/100 might even be too fast. That's why plane spotters love IS lenses even though we shoot in good light...)
how do you carry it around ? say in a park or on a beach(the two most imp places that sprung in my mind, as useful locations for this lens) !? :P
Wow! Did you have to test it for just one day? Sounds like an awful lot of fun! I hope they make a new, smaller, more affordable 1200/8L IS sometime. :-)
Like this! (Looks dangerous to me.) [:^)]Originally Posted by devsalvi
Bryan looks pretty tough there, but let Canon make a 1.4 version, and then let's see if he can lift it! []
No wonder the view in the viewfinder was shaky. A lens of this proportions (over 8" aperture) deserves a more substantial mounting. Eg:
