 | Carl Zeiss creates telephoto lens with 1700mm focal length   The World's Largest Telephoto Lens On display at Photokina in Cologne: Hall 2.1, Booth B010. Never before has the world of photography seen such a lens. Developed for long distance wildlife photography this supertele lens provides 21x magnification. In search of the highest imaginable image quality the client decided for 6x6 medium format and the Hasselblad 203 FE as the best camera he is aware of. At 1700 mm focal length and a speed of f/4 this lens put requirements on optical glas, lens assembly and quality assurance methods, never before encountered in photo lens manufacture. This 256 kg behemoth also required Carl Zeiss to develop totally new ways of operating a telephoto lens, including servo controlled aiming and focusing. Drawing from its expertise in satellite and space optics as well as semiconductor fabrication lenses Carl Zeiss was happy to accept the challenge. http://www.zeiss.com/c12567a8003b58b...2571e100393a1b |

| Re: Carl Zeiss creates telephoto lens with 1700mm focal length Nikon used to offer a 2000mm lens but they no longer make it. So how much does this thing cost? .....I'm guessing at least $30,000 USD. |
