I'd need a team of three to help me carry a lens like this! I enjoyed watching the professional photographers at Newbury Race Course but was much happier wandering around with my 50mm lens.

[Patty]

Holy Cow! Is that the newest 100-400mm lens? I had a chance to play around with it, and it's fantastic! Sure wish Santa would consider putting that under the tree for me! Great capture!!

[Jocasta]

No - not the 100-400 but a 500mm - not only did I follow him to get the photo, I also asked him about the lens.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Oooh! Is it the new Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x ? I would wet myself if I could ever get the chance to own £12k's worth of lens like that.

[Eric di Bosco]

...and I would need the income of three to buy it LOL!

[Gayanne Campbell]

Now that's a lens! Wow!

[Lisa]

There's big... then there is BIG!!! I would wheel it around on a skateboard and have to eat spinach for tea for a year to lift it!! : ))

[Humphrey Hippo]

Mega lens-envy. :)

[Linda]

Coupled with the giant tripod you would need a mule as well! What a magnificent piece of equipment!

[Marina Shemesh]

Now THAT is a lens!

[Paula W]

Oh my goodness, that is a huge lens!!! Might have to pass on one of those as I don't think I could carry it!

[Marloes]

GREAT capture:) indeed the opposite of my mini cams ;)

[Sue Rose]

Ooh err missus, that's a whopper! The camera looks a bit insignificant perched on the end of it! Love the eyes!

[Hope D Jennings]

Wow! THAT is a beautiful sight! Wonderful capture

[Caryn]

Wow!!!

[Abhijit]

lol, wouldn't want to carry that around my neck all day
nice shot

[Rachel]

That is what you call a lens! Cool shot but rather him than me, don't think will go into photographing horse racing if this is the equipment required!

[Penny Price]

Eye popping, mind blowing lens.

[Sean O'Neill]

Very obtrusive!! Us Sigma 500mm owners go for black so as not to make too much of a statement ;-)

[Jo]

Oh my, that is HUGE! like the shot though.

[Cazla]

Wow that must weight some, you can't beat a nifty fifty.

[Nancy]

That is a big lens....love this flashback!
