Will be keeping an eye out at the Salvation Army for one of these.

"Cheap" long lenses were marketed as "girl-watcher" lenses in less p.c. times.

Sure beats the Spiratone 400mm f/6.3 that I had to go perving with at the beach as a teenager back in the day. :-)

Can a tele-converter be attached to this? :-)

Hmm. Kodak made dual-lens point-and-shoot digital cameras in the mid 2000's.

I wonder how much compromise in image quality at the long end is a result of needing to have 24mm versus say 28mm or 35mm as the wide end of this lens design.

Sure to be added to the large pile of smartphone cases, clip-on lenses, external batteries, and other such junk you'll find at Goodwill.

Dumb idea.

Burn!

Bet this stuff ends up in China.

They must know the serial numbers. I'm sure they are examining the photos on eBay in hopes of spotting these items.

"Over $200K in Leica gear stolen from Scottish camera store Ffordes"

No time to read the article but I hardly think that the theft of a couple of bodies and maybe a lens is newsworthy. :-)

Looks cheap, like a J. Crew house brand knockoff of a Filson bag.

Gotta give them credit though. Who would have thought of adding pockets to hold film? Impressive.

Japan Camera Hunter fuels a whole lot of corny, overpriced photo gear nonsense.

I always hated the Ektachromes back in the day (70s-90s) even if they were needed sometimes for higher speed, tungsten balance, etc. I know I wasn't alone. This left the door open for Fuji to come...

It's just a matter of time until one of these phones comes out with two or more wide angle cameras that can capture a full 360 degree view at once, combining the images in software so you end up...

Come the Tokyo Olympics, we'll see the full-on dual-slot pro gear from Nikon and Canon.

Likely that it *was* made there and now they only have a stockpile in storage.

There's going to be a huge glut of good gear going on the market as people jump ship from their old systems seeking out the "latest and greatest." #captainobvious

"I'm Back" is corny, IMHO.

I guess one could easily cover it with black tape.
