Andre Langevin and i have been talking offline about situations where a
1000mm lens is required. we couldn't justify the price either. i spent about
$2K on a Pentax PF-100ED spotting scope with the PF-CA35 adapter to give me
a 1250mm/12.5 equivalent. there are times when you just have to spend the
money if those shots matter. the spotting scope solution is a stopgap
measure that is barely adequate for me, but since i don't have the $7K
either just yet, it will have to do. that extra stop and a half to get to a
f/8 would have made a difference in some of the shots i attempted.

A bargain if you have the $7k to spend, I couldn't warrant spending that
much
on a lens myself.
