What would you think? Will Sony come up with this kind of a lens...?

[EBfoto]

;-)

And if so what will it cost?

Looks like you need a forklift for every day use.

Good finding.

I had a good laugh. That thing is a beast.

Measurebators are out of my world, photography is not about babbling behind a computer... but rather being out of your home, shoot and share photographs with other people. Shoot and Share...Thanks.

Like to have what those 3 lenses are worth

I think that guy is going to the beach to look at topless women. Probably somewhere like France or Spain or something. Wouldn't see much of that in North America.

As they say, if you must ask what its price would be, you couldn't afford it. Chances are, the guy in the photo has a sticker somewhere in his vest that says "my other camera is a Cybershot, but it's doing time-lapses of my third oil field".

Bah! It's only f5.6-8. According to Nikon this lens was specifically designed to shoot in Koshien Stadium in Japan. Here's in interesting read from Nikon:

Lens Recollections

 

[Chimere]

Well, here it is: the 1200-1700 mm, 5.6 - 8.8 Nikkor lens was in production from 1990 to 1999, had a weight of 35 lbs. (!) and retailed between $60.000 to $75,000.- on those days. Would be about twice as much now at todays money value. Not known how many actually had been produced.


50 mm / FF comparison shot


at f=1200 mm .....


and at f=1700mm

Works well to pick up girls. Obviously no back focus problems in those days.

Cheers,

Chimere

The NEX 3N and a Nikon-E-mount adapter is all you need.
Perfect combination!

Why buy this slow Nikon zoom when you can get a 1700/4 prime from Zeiss?

....the plastic mount of the A58 might hold it ?

Reminds me of a lens I saw at CES back in early 2012.

Probably cheaper to just buy a ferrari and "zoom in" with that. Probably works better with the picking up of the girls part too.

 

[123Mike]

Meh. The bokeh doesn't look much better than a 500mm mirror reflex lens + 2x extender. The missing 700mm you can probably just crop...

lol.

 

[123Mike]

or wait.... there's this: http://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-Multi-Coated-Teleconverter-Digital-Cameras/dp/B001DKL45G

1600m @ $229...

 

[123Mike]

How about this one...

First comment: "needs a 2x converter".... lol.

lol... must have my 2.8 lens... good for sports. Or just being sporty waving this around. Either way, someone's getting workout...

 

[lehill]

Doesn't come in A-mount. :-( Once again Sony users get the short end of the stick.

I want one of these. It cost only $120K.

Here is a B&H hands on of this lens.
