What are those lenses with a focal length of 1200mm+ used for? Just for curiosity sake...
 

Shoot your sexy neighbour in the next block 50m away. :devil:

Add one more reason to the mix: paparazzi.
 

I think it would be v useful for PIs... then again, i think it'll be too obvious.... hahahaha
 

telescopes
 

hmm...but i guess as for shooting sports, it'll be a bit too 'zoomed' right?
 

If they are used as telescopes, it's definitely not those used for astrophotography.

for the price of these telephoto lenses i would rather get a telescope and stick a cam on it via a t-ring and an adaptor.. thats what most astrophotographers do

with a telescope you can equip it with a tracking device so that there will be relative tracking with a long exposure.. wont be streaks etc..

:think: wah idea siah! Lets see how many 25mm tubes you need to stack to get 1:1.. 2f=2000mm, 2000/25=80!! Wah! you need 80 tubes and you need to stand 4m away to shoot it!!
