There was a Carl Zeiss Oberkochen f/5.6 / 1000mm Mirotar lens breifly avialable by special order for the Hasselblad; perhaps that fell in this price range. This lens was going for $45,000 on e-bay: http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/0...mm-mirror.html Perhaps it fetched $75,000 new. If I am doing the math correctly, a full frame camera screwed onto the end of this lens, from three quarters of a mile away, could photograph a 6ft tall person such that their height took up one third of the (landscape) image. The latter was my crude guess as to what sort of margin you would need if you were trying to keep a celebrity in-frame and wait for her to strike a usable pose. -- "Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes?

If you're famous or notorious this might be a good time to start trembling. http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/...e-game-cameras Jumbo lenses are just not necessary. http://www.webtechgeek.com/wp/images/mini-drones.jpg And if a large $120000 lens takes a photo of something miles away, it has to take in all the thermal gradients, dust, mist etc. |

I expect to see news items about people in the US treating these quadrotors like skeet. If they are privately owned, and hovering over someone else's property, the owners will have no legal recourse. The shooting down of government-owned drones would be more interesting from a legal point of view.
