Review:
As for image quality, even wide open it’s quite lovely. Stopped down to f/8 and f/11 it’s actually quite remarkable. How remarkable? From midtown Manhattan we were able to read the street signs on the corner of JFK Boulevard East and 43rd St. in Weehawkin New Jersey when viewing image files at pixel resolution. It’s important to keep in mind when you are shooting images of objects literally a mile away or further you start contending with haze, smog, and heat radiation that can greatly diminish the image quality of the best optics, especially during warmer months. Even on a cold, clear winter day we were able to detect heat distortions in some of the photos.

Price: $120,000

Lol, Ray posted this in the photography shoutbox a day or two ago...

f/5.6 at 1200mm is some crazy fast speed, compared to the 2000mm Pentax lens that could only go to f/13.5.

From what I read, this lens was sold to BH by Boeing.

at that focal length, youd pretty much need to stop down past f/8 to have any depth of field :lawl:
