Can you spot the Hasselblad?

The new Zeiss 1700mm/f4 weighs in at a quarter of a ton.

I have no idea who that "special" customer is who ordered the lens but
I'm pretty sure he's a billionaire.
At any rate, I'm not impressed, rather sad that so much money is wasted
on such trivia when the needs of millions are ignored.

So a hassy with one of those is almost the weight of an RB67?

My guess is the customer is Al Jazeera.

For spotting and documenting "Buka" infractions.

The information I have is that it is the King og Quatar which has ordered
the lens and paid the cost of develoment.
So probably only one lens is made. The lens at photokina is probably an
empty shell......the wires also looks to tiny to
carry 256 kg.......and if it was a real lens......stupid to hang it
up.......so people can't look into it.

Yeah, the price of gas goes up, and the king gets a new lens--go figure!

Some people collect pics of airplanes, but maybe the King prefers oil
tankers? With that focal length a big tanker will fill the frame when
more than 10km away.

What next? Will he build a pedestal high enough to see to Iran? That
would be taller than the Arabian Tower in Dubai...
