these lenses have absurd sizes. It's not something you would
carry around for hours/the full day while walking in a tropical
rainforest.

those are toys compared to this:

How much is the lens cap? About $500? You’d need a backpack just for that.


I have the Canon FL-mount 1200mm f/11 lens. It's about 3 feet long, and
fairly heavy- it gets heavier the longer you carry it. I would never
consider using it without a tripod, which also gains weight. I would
never consider it for wildlife.

And I will not be walking around a tropical rain forest with it.
