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.

I'd like to know if there's an adapter so that it would fit my Sony A6000. Anybody know ?
Yes you can.

If I could get that 1200-1700 in f/1.4 I'd pick one up.😎
If it were made in an f/1.4.....doubt you could pick it up!

I think the tripod for a 50 caliber machine gun would hold it, but you would have to lie down to look through it...

The hell with the tripod. Any photographer worth his salt would hand-hold.

never saw a photo taken with it...(after a day using it, bet that guy would trade it for a P900 in a heartbeat!)

They could cut 15 pounds off the lens if they removed the massive gold Nikon brand ring from the barrel of the lens.

Nah! A used Civil War canon cart seem more in line with what it needs. But you have to supply the horse to pull it. Just remove the canon and add the lens.

Hiring a Sherpa to carry it can really add to the long term costs - not to mention the weight and construction of the cinder block tripod! 😂
