Oh my Alastair you don't want to even think about that 800mm lens! :-( I 
used one testing for Leica at the 1972 Summer OLYMPICS in Munich and it's a 
monster machine!  You require at least two Sherpa's to carry it and mount it 
on a tripod! :-)

It cuts extremely sharp images, it's just a monster!
