[Steam of consciousness response to the lens...] Impressive lens. And only 7300 grams! I think that a gram is about the weight of a feather, 7300 of them shouldn't be too bad. Oh, wait. That is close to 7.3 kilos. That is about the weight of my bowling ball. Would I want to attach my camera to a bowling ball and carry the combination around for a day? (Cotty could probably make an adapter for me...) But then I would probably need to carry a tripod at least as heavy. I think I need to hire an assistant. No, I think I won't bid on this auction.
