“The 800mm f/5.6 is the photography equivalent of a D cup – not a necessity, but wherever you go with it, you’ll make lots of new friends”
So how many new friends would there be if you doubled up to 1600mm? With a newly rented behemoth, Jehad and I hit the streets to find out with some less-than-inconspicuous street shooting. Making the attached 5D look like a cheap point-and-shoot, the fully manual “telescope” proved a tricky beast to tame, but with everything dialed in we simply sat back and waited…2 blocks away from our subjects.
More images after the break…
Not exactly hand-holdable
Below is the outcome of our efforts…
Special thanks to Jehad for contributing his images

Great post…so size matters and it’s not how big it is, it’s what you do with it….
Clever title. Oh young one, will you ever stop back logging previous post ideas, though It’s true your new ones are epic.
Will be awesome for photographing the voyeur across the street!
Will be AWESOME for photographing the voyeur across the other side of 9th Street! Can’t wait to see future blogs on THAT SUBJECT matter!
