Extreme photography

I'm not sure when you need to move up to the "anti-tank" class of lenses for your camera - but this is just crazy. Apparently it costs $25,000 and weighs 35 pounds.

Sweet. When we get that aircraft carrier our official photagrapher can use that lens.

Weren't we looking at a sub too?

And a missile base. I don't remember what all else

SI

That's a hell of a lens and the guy is in serious need of a heavy duty tripod.

Hey you..

Ya you on Mars. Smile.

I don't know about you, but when I'm taking a picture, I don't want my arms to flex.

Unsure how we can get a decent picture with that and no tripod.

What does that camera do that's so much better than a regular camera? Can it see the future?

It can take the picture of a gnat's ass from a couple of miles away.

EXTREME!!

I think what it does is shoot a midget out at the item you are trying to photograph, and the midget sketches the item for you.

Here's the version for those of us with no self-esteem:

Oh, PHOTography.

Title change: "the thread for cameras so extreme that they deserve to be in this thread"

Thank you.
