It's video camera lens (for something like the Canon XL H1 HD), so it probably can only cover a 2/3" CCD at best. >> Stay informed about: Drool over a Canon 9.3-800mm f/1.7-f/4.0 lens?

Yes, I've seen them in use and the results from same. At the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix, as it happens, although I guess they are a fairly common sports lens.

I suspect that it lacks some sharpnes with a 20MP image. It's also not very portable. No autofocus. No aperture. -- Ray Fischer rfischer RemoveThis @sonic.net >> Stay informed about: Drool over a Canon 9.3-800mm f/1.7-f/4.0 lens?
