Thats not a lens… THIS is a lens!
Carl Zeiss (who also produced the lens in my own digicam), have announced a custom lens they built for a private party thats the biggest non-military lens ever produced!
This beautiful beast weighs in at 564 lbs and has 15 optical elements arranged in 13 groups. It has a focal length of 1700mm and Carl Zeiss had to come up with an all new focusing and aiming system using servos to move the heavy glass elements. It’s made to mate specifically with a Hasselblad 203FE 6x6cm medium format camera as per the customer’s request. I can’t imagine the photos this takes.
