This is, in fact, the proper way to carry the Nikkor 1200-1700mm f/5.6-8.0 super telephoto lens. Weighing in at 36 pounds and measuring nearly 3 feet in length, the manual focus lens was introduced in 1993 and had a hefty price tag of $60,000.

That’s why I never bought one. I won’t pay more than $59,000 for a lens. πŸ€”

If I could get that 1200-1700 in f/1.4 I'd pick one up.😎

Would that be a clean and jerk or a press?

My thoughts exactly. If you use it for doing a bench press, does the price include a spotter?

That's just a LITTLE too bizzare for me...The other two lenses (that can be seen), aren't too shabby, either!

You might need a new truck to carry that guy.

In that case you would have to add another zero to the price.

I find the bokeh from this lens to be a bit busy.

My first house was purchased in 1966 and I could have bought 6 of them for the cost of that lens. Could have been a nice down payment on my current home.
