   f = 2300mm zoom lens? I wonder what this looks like? Also what’s the shortest focal length possible with this lens?

   There must be lots of light or it’s a long exposure.

   Dude! That’s totally cool!

   It comes pretty close to shooting right over my house in Foster City, too. 🙂

   DAMN. If you actually own that lens then you get 10 bonus points.

   Thats a rather large lens, just to state the obvious.
