The mother of all lenses:

"If you have visions of slinging this baby over your shoulder and going a stroll along the promenade be advised it ain't happening. And remember... lift with your knees."

"The hard part is figuring out what you’re focusing on because the angle of view is so narrow. If you’re not familiar with the landscape you’ll find yourself peering out over the top of the camera every so often trying to figure out what you’re looking at."
 
Need something longer? A Canon Extender EF 1.4x boosts the beast up to a 1680/8, and the Canon Extender EF 2x will get you to a 2400/11. For what it's worth, if you couple this lens to a Rebel XTi or EOS 40D you end up with the 35mm-equivalent of 1920/5.6, a 2688/8 with a 1.4x extender, and a 3840/11 with a 2x extender. If you need to focus any tighter to your subject you'll have to hop a plane and fly there.

LOL, I can see the bosses face when I take photos at the office party with this.
 
OK, just as I've sufficiently strained my brain with the sheer possibilities of a 1200mm lense, along comes this. Spot the camera in that picture... :D
