Excuse me, but why do you have a camera attached to a walking stick?

 

[jann1033]

i figured since it was green it would blend in

 

[OK!]

I just couldn't justify buying any lens that cost more than my car. Like a LOT more than my car.

I would totally buy this lens for whale watching and birding; I'm sure it's great. But how do you fit it on a smallish DSLR like the D90? It weighs 39 pounds! That's insane. I would have to start lifting weights to build up some serious muscle mass to cart this thing around!

Yikes....that thing is bigger than the Hubble

 

[bnorm27]

Holy Cow! I don't think you could carry that on an airplane. The TSA might think it was some kind of hand-held bazooka or something!

how would that lens look on your credit card statement ?

you don't mount that lens on a dslr,,,you mount your dslr on that lens, which is already mounted on a very good tripod..

I was just kidding. Guess it didn't come across...I can barely handle lugging my tripod around much less this monstrosity! I'm too lazy...
I'd buy it for whale watching and birding if I could wheel it around or have someone carry it fr me.

If you can afford that thing you just bring your sherpa to carry it.

It looks like a cannon (pardon the pun )

Are green lenses even more sought-after than white ones?

 

[jann1033]

could be the shrek limited edition?

 

[MICKEY88]

I was thinking that it looks like a weapon the green army men would carry

 

[greens_in_WA]

Do they offer a small car loan to be able to pay for it?

 

[bostran1]

You know, I thought the same thing. But it looks just fine on my Rebel.

It's a great bargain!!! You can sit on your couch in Ohio and just max out the zoom to capture the afternoon parade at WDW--no travel costs involved, ever! Let us know how you like it, okay? LOL
