I've seen this B4.....not sure it is real! I just hand held my 300-800 for the first time 2 months ago. Wish I was 20 years younger!

I have been familiar with Juza and his work for several years. He has an excellent website and has a lot of credibility. It is real. He states he couldn't do this for long and he is a lot younger than many of us.

Alfred - Some days I feel like I need performance enhancing drugs just to get out of bed in the morning! :o

So is that the way to hand-hold heavy lenses such as 500, 600 primes when you guys shoot?

Here is my I can't hand hold it telephoto: 2000 mm f/6.3 (home built), and boy is it sharp ;):

I think it is fit to be used by Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger in a Terminator series movie. For lesser mortals like me, a bean bag or tripod is the way to go. :-)

For $34,000 you would think they could throw in some image stabilization! In fact, it should also have wireless Internet connectivity...

The lens is real. Robert O'toole saw it in one of his seminars and you can buy it from B&H for $22,049.10

I think the lens uses batteries to activate the focusing motor. If I remember right!

Roger ..... forget hand holding that home built monster ... just want to see you board a plane with it :)

btw Canon had a 1200L 5.6 USM I think the price was $99,000 .. very few were made. B&H had one used for sale. btw CPS had one you could use but it was dropped and no plans for fixing !!
