Re: "consumer camera lens" at $2 million !

The Canon lens lack a handle smile Makes it difficult to bring along.
maybe it's too heavy for my VRdrive2 too.

I guess i know someone who might state that it´s an easy thing for the drive to handle it veeery woonderfully . . winkcool

Maybe - but i´m sure it would look a bit funny . . big_smile cool 
But on the other hand i´m also sure this device would impress (potential) clients enormously lol

I have asked my shootpatterngenerator ... it tells me 10692 shots for a (theoretically) 650 mm lens at full frame, 30% overlap ... doubling the focus quadrupels the shots ... for a 5200 mm must have 64 times ... that gives 684288 shots ... hmm, well, i need a bigger accumulator. And bigger cf card.

greetings from germany
Chris

ps.: please, dont tell me who can pay for the 5200mm can pay for an accumulator too.

ps2 @kolor: how much ram will i need to stitch a 684288 shot spherical pano? (no, just kidding)

you would need:

assuming a Canon 5D Mark III:
(22.3mp * 4 * 684288 )/1024/1024 =

58,21 Terabyte Scratch Disc so with an optimum ration of 1:2 you would need 29,1 Terabyte RAM and with a ratio of 1:4 finally 14,55 Terabyte RAM

I see ... it is good luck for me to own the older 5D M2 ... so my requirements are less ...

Re: "consumer camera lens" at $2 million !

1300mm @f12.7 then you need a sturdy tripod and bright light.
my OM-D has stabilizing in the body, but I don't think Oly thought anybody would need stabilizing a lens like this smile

Re: "consumer camera lens" at $2 million !

So I found out that the The Hubble Space Telescope was going cheap and with the aid of a few Russian cosmonauts, I managed to strap my D800 to the front of it.. and began to zoooom in and zoooooooom in and zoooooooooom in and zooooooooooom in and zooooooooooooooooooooom in and ... roll  not sure who the hell is looking up at me since its a bit blurrred..  lollollollollol
