Itīs always good to have a Canon body.
Unlimited possibilities.
Sorry Nikonians ;-)
Here is the new lens:

Mind the red arrow: it shows the camera body.
Isnīt this good news?
The bad thing about it: i just bought a new camera bag.
There is another small problem: minimum object distance of 120m doesnīt really allow to use it at home for aquatic photography.

I just about fell out of my chair when I read that . You didn't mention that it takes 4 men to move it .
lol, a 200lb f14 mirror lens. i gotta get me one of those! actually, it would probably be great for taking closeups of the moon.
5200mm and at f/14! Dude...where are all the sherpas in the picture?
At this point, I'm just happy that Nikon is coming out with the D200 soon and those macro flashes.
Where in the world did you dig this one out from!?
I wonder where can we see this 100kg monster? Would love get a feel of it, but I doubt there will be opportunities.

Probably great for astrophotographer.
Personally I would preffer shooting wildlife with a 50mm :)
Cheaper, I don't have to run away to shoot a subject and it's a bit more mobile.
Damn cool though.
This one plus the 20Da probably makes a nice combo for astrophotograpers.
If I recall correctly, this is the old FL mount.
